That ought to make some buzzing noise. Nicely tied. This is a pattern I'm not familiar with.

I've fished this few times with good results. Very well tied Scott. I'm not sure I would label it a nymph though.
I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.
