Lazy Mans Bitch Creek Nymph





Bitch Creek Nymph

Hook - Mustad 9671, 9672 or equivalent
Thread - Black
Weight - Lead free wire
Tail & Antenna - Rubber legs
Ribbing - Mono, thread or wire
Abdomen - Black chenille and yellow chenille belly 
Thorax - Black chenille
Hackle - Black or brown hackle

The Bitch Creek Nymph is usually tied with a woven body, but I don't weave worth a damn, so I just tied a piece of yellow chenille on the underside of the hook and then pulled it forward to the midpoint of the hook. Use the ribbing to keep it in place. Brown hackle is also used but I like the black for this one. Use different color chenille for the under body.
