Back to posting, IT HAS BEEN A LOOOONG BUSY SUMMER!!!

Didn't get in nearly as much fishing as I should have. Been to busy with home maintenance projects.
Here we go with an effective baetis/mayfly nymph pattern that is tied a tad differently.

Materials;
Hook: TMC 3761, TMC 3769
Size: 14~18
Thread: Olive Dun 6/0 UNI Thread
Tail, Abdomen, Shellback & Legs: Pheasant Tail Feather Barbules
(The barbules used on this pattern have no brown tips and are a natural olive and speckled) See Note
