I usually don't fish nymphs, but this one could change my mind. Don't know what it is about the fly, but it caught this fisherman. Well tied, Norm. Is the scud back wrapped over the pearl tinsel underbody or tied over the top, under the wood duck?

Wild!!! That's got “a little bit of everything” going for it.
