The following comments excerpted from the from the books;
Popular Fly Patterns,
Page 77 by Terry Hellekson, Publish Date 1977.
This pattern was sent
to me by George Bodmer of Colorado Springs, Colorado. As you can see, George
and his friends like their nymphs simple. They usually fish them weighted and
deep. They do not like a pattern so complicated to tie that they get
emotionally involved when they lose one.

George Bodmer of Colorado Springs, Colorado
originated this pattern. As you can see, George keeps some of his patterns very
simple. Natural chamois is a yellowish beige color and darkens well after it
becomes wet.The following flies were tied by me using a car washing "Natural Chamois" (I think it is Kid Goat skin and not the REAL French Chamois)
