Blackburn Tellico Nymph



BLACKBURN TELLICO NYMPH


Hook - Mustad 9671, 9672 or equivalent, size 6-12
Thread - Brown
Tail - Mink fibers or brown hackle fibers
Ribbing - 2 strands of peacock herl twisted into a rope around a fine gold wire
Wing Case* - Dark Brown turkey feather section
Body - Dirty golden-yellow dubbing
Hackle - Palmered through front half of body

This pattern was originated by Richard Blackburn of Tennessee to imitate the Golden Stonefly Nymphs that are common in the fast rocky streams of the Smokies.

* There is a lot of breakable fibers on the wing case, 
so a ribbing of wire or thread should be added for durability.
