Butcher Nymph


Butcher Nymph

Category - Nymph/wet fly

Hook - Mustad S80-3906, S82-3906B (or equivalent substitute), Size 8-14 

Thread - Black

Tail - Red hackle fibers

Rib - Oval silver tinsel

Body - Flat silver tinsel 

Wing case: Black feather fibers

Thorax - Black dubbing  

Hackle - Black hen 

This pattern is a nymph-shaped version of the classic wet Butcher. The difference lies in the fact that the wing on the original has been substituted for a wing case, and a thorax of black fur is added to enhance the nymph shape. This fly is an attractor pure and simple.
