| New Nymph Skin Colour... |
|
 This fantastic new Nymph Skin colour has been added to our range. Fluorescent Red. This colour can be used to tie many everyday patterns for rivers and stillwaters. The fluorescent red colour will not fade with use and does not fade when stretched. Steve Thornton has tied a simple pattern (pictured, on read more) which is great for deep bugging techniques in rivers for Grayling or Trout. Fluorescent Red Nymph Skin now compliments our "Match the Hatch" range of colours.  If you have never tied with Nymph Skin before there is a "3 simple Steps to tying a realistic nymph body" printed on the back of each packet. If you would like to read a more detailed version of how to tie with Nymph Skin, Steve Thornton has supplied the text below. Tying a Caddis Abdomen. (Edited version from Listen to the River, Vol 1 ) STEP 2 - Tie in the 3 mm Nymph Skin. Do this by trapping the Nymph Skin’s top corner against the shank, make one tight wrap and keeping the tension on the thread, stretch the Nymph Skin and wind down the hook shank with 5/6 tight turns, trapping in the Nymph Skin. Now wind back over these turns hiding any tip that maybe showing, then wind up to the hook eye and half hitch and hang out of the way. STEPS 3 & 4 - Now take the Nymph Skin and stretch about 3/4 tension and make 2 wraps exposing a little of the previous wrap. Now relax the tension so it’s about 1/2 stretch and wrap showing 60% of the previous wrap. When you have made about 5-6 wraps you will notice that the Nymph Skin steps off the hook shank forming a hollow body. Now start to increase the tension when you’re at a point 2/3rd up the hook shank. Now if you’re happy with the taper, continue wrapping and increasing the tension until you reach the hook eye. (If you are unhappy with the taper, let go and start wrapping again, you can do this as many times as you like, it will not damage the Nymph Skin). You should now have a realistic segmented body. ‘Now to tie off’. The best way of doing this is to bring the thread back over the last wrap and make 6 bobbin weight turns on top of each other. Then pull both the thread and the Nymph Skin to tighten. Whip finish and snip off the thread.
