Thanks for that Morne. Interesting that you put the soft hackle up the body like that.
The "Kamberg Nymph" pattern used up here is essentially also a small (#12 short shank, and down) Red-Eye Damsel. I have only ever seen them (and tied them) with chennille eyes, but plan on making some up with the mono / bead eyes.
Tie in the eyes about 1/4 down from the hook eye, tie in marabou by the tips so that you have a long tail, say 2x shank if short shank, and then simply wind the marabou butts up the shank and figure-8 over the eyes.
Nice and simple. Seen them in olive, brown and black with eyes in red, white and black.
