Capt. Ouitdee Carson fly tying a Missy D Nymph. This is a great point fly on a two nymph rig setup. Works great for the fast water just above pools, gets down fast. Works very well in short fast pocket water like many of the Driftless area streams of Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin have.
In this video I use ruffed grouse feathers for a soft hackle nymph feel. I have a crap load of grouse feathers. You can use any material to create the legs, or no legs at all. Substitute lead for non-toxic to make it even heavier.
