My understanding of this pattern is that what you called wings are actually supposed to be the casing as the nymph heads to the top. So when I tie it, I tie them in before folding over the foam backing so they run along the body of the fly. I remember reading an original article written by bastian on this fly and that is what I recall. Either way. it's a great fly!

This fly is extremely effective, originally made foot caddis, but I discovered that with ginger dubbing, it becomes a sulfur emerger. And I mean an incredible sulfur emerger. I fish this fly on he point and a sulfur dry fly about 10" - 12" up the leader. They land close together so generally in the same drift lane. Most trout eat this fly!

Nice one Cheech, it reminds me of a Tellico nymph. I like it, thanks for sharing.

Like it! Another fly for the "try me" next season box :-)
