Tail: Porcupine guard hair
Abdomen: razor foam
Gills: CDC
Legs: Porcupine guard hair

Save our Yellows!

The best day to go fishing is any day that ends in a "y"
I think it will be very interresting to see the tying instructions...
Next fly swop, "realistic" imitations!
Looks just like a scorpion with the inverted hook and all. If all else fails cast a #10/0 to the baboons with a 15#
It's not in the catching, it's in the learning something new.

Sorry only just had a chance respond to ArcherFish, CJ etc
If you tie that with darker brown colours with a slightly fatter body, size 10 (larger nymphs in SA than Northern Hemisphere where in UK they're generally ignores and in USA they try and be gay by tying size 20is nymphs) thru size 18 you'll also approximate the 20-odd Trico species nymphs we have here in the 'warmer' areas per ArcherFish's (Machadorhythidae or however they're spelt since they were 'classified' 1959..). The nymphs are stout crawlers with fat bodies (approximating my soccer portfolio) which can also double up as Caenis nymphs if you're not too exactimitationish...the adults generally only two wings and three prominent tails. Usually late summer, prefer fast cleanish water - thus non-Vaal though you find the odd specimen - and adults hatch in short profusion late pm.. No photos from my side.
I also think there is/was a 'Worcester blue trico' or something like that, the one trico in W Cape years ago? CPS to the rescue please?
