Week 18... A Nymph that includes turkey...
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!
This week's fly is any nymph that incorporates turkey. It can be any feather... Turkey quills, flats, biots, tail feathers, etc.
The whole fly doesn't have to be constructed from turkey, just a part(s) of the fly.

Turkey Tail Nymph
Hook: DAI-RIKI #16 Nymph
Bead: Brass
Tail: Turkey Tail Fiber
Abdomen: Turkey Tail Fiber
Rib: Fine gold wire
Wing-case: Turkey Tail Fiber
Thorax: Turkey Flat Iridescent
Legs: Turkey Flat Iridescent
Note: The tail, abdomen, and wing-case are one continuous piece of fibers. The thorax and legs are one continuous piece of flat. This is a pattern I tie a lot and it catches fish well. It started when I realized I could barter for turkey feathers and pheasant cost money

MarkPTO: I feel pretty confident your nymph will catch a lot of fish. This time of year that pattern does some strong work. I like it.

Teach - I like to drop a #18 or #20 copper john behind that one if the bite is slow. A small zebra midge would probably do really well too.
