Here's the new FLY Nymph that did so well for me at Lake Manatee on Friday.

Tail is chartreues floss, body is Fuzzy Leach Yarn. Head is 5/32 gold bead. Hook is a No. 8 White River-396.

That's a nice little bug! What is the Fuzzy Leach Yarn (what and where???)? Is it straight off of a skein or do you do a fancy dubbing technique. I like itImage

Fuzzy Leach Yarn is a body material that Orvis sold in the mid to late 90s. I don't think Orvis handles it any more. I searched Orvis's fly tying materials and didn't see it. I'm sure it comes from a craft store. I've got a lot that I bought and never used.

Nice- very "buggy"

In regards to the body material, the Wapsi Scud dub does have a similar effect, especially when applied with a dubbing loop to keep it "fuzzy" looking.
