Montana
Stonefly Nymph
The Montana
Nymph is an easy Pattern to Tie. Method
1/ Start
at the eye and wind thread back to the bend of the hook.Tie
in a bunch of tail material.
2/ Tie
in the black chenille and wind the thread to about midway
along the hook shank,wind the black chenille up to this point
and tie off leave the excess chenille untouched.
3/ Tie
in a suitable black hackle,then the chenille for the thorax,Wind
the thorax up to the eye leaving enough room to tie off materials
and form a head.
4/ Palmer
the hackle up to the head and tie off
5/ Lay
the remaining black chenille over the back of the thorax and
hackles forming a wingcase,tie off and trim.
6/ Form
the head and tie off.
The Montana
Nymph was voted by Englands "Trout Fisherman"Magazine as one
of its top 5 flies(April 1997). In W.A. it fishes well in
the Brunswick and the Donelly Rivers.The floro green version
works well in the Impoundments. Cheers Stan Weatherill
