Bill, this is a quintessential tie for me. It's impeccably constructed and clearly reads more like a sulphur dun than a nymph pattern. Since I fish this pattern during a sulphur hatch I like the longer hackle and tail fibers. One of the odd shifts that comes from translating a UK pattern to Eastern US water.

Thanks, W. I should have mentioned that I posted this photo to show the Gudebrod "D" rod winding thread abdomen, not as an example of a Tups nymph per se.
