Pig Nymph - Black


Pig Nymph - Black

Hooks - TMC3761 or DAI1560 or equivalent, sizes 12-16

Thread - Black

Tail - Three dark peccary hairs

Abdomen - Wrapped with dark peccary hair

Thorax - Black ostrich herl

Legs - Black hen hackle tied on as a collar and trimmed off on top and bottom

Doug Prince of Monterey, California, originated this pattern. In view of the fact that peccary is not always available, many fly tiers have found that moose is just as effective.
