Bend up Nymph

Fly: Harald Weidler, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann

Hook: Tiemco 2302 #10-14
Thread: UNI 6/0 brown
Tail: Rabbit hair
Abdomen: Antron mixed with squirrel
Weight: Tungsten pearl on a piece of monofilament, melted flat at the end
Thorax: Hare's ear dubbing, spun in a loop
Note: The Tungsten bead turns the hook upside down, so the nymph has a natural position under water and prevents snags. The end of a 0,45 mm monofilament must be heated with a lighter, then you touch it with a moistened finger - don't worry it will not burn you. Fish take it as an imitation of a casebuilding caddislarva as well as a glass fish.
