Colorado Oldie Pattern

The  Buckskin Nymph
The following comments excerpted from the from the books;

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)
