Alain ties an olive brown Czech nymph tied on size 10 Knapek G hook. This nymph represents the rycophilia larva, a common green caddis in the Northeast US. In spite of its heavy weight, this fly style possesses a slim profile due to its construction methods.
Materials list:
- Size 10 Knapek G hook
- 7X monofilament outer rib
- Small holographic gold tinsel inner rib
- Light olive 1/8in scud back
- Olive brown dubbing blend
- Medium flat lead
- Olive 70 denier thread
- Black permanent marker
one solution i use when i cant find flat lead is to roll some .025 flat with the edge of my hair stacker. it works very well i just roll it until it the thickness i am looking for. works like a charm everytime
