Hi Jax, I like the look of this and will get busy with a little something in reply - the angle of the tail is quite interesting. Do you tie all your nymphs like this or was is because the tail is sitting over the wool tag? You usually see them in line with the hook shank. Bit of a signature perhaps?

Barbary B;

Yes I tie the tail at that angle deliberately and the Egg Sac is to ensure a good Splay of the hackle whisks.

No real reason except I have always Liked well Splayed Tails on my Nymphs as it looks good to my eye and it seems the trout think it is O.K. as well. Hope they will produce for you. 

 Thanks for the kind words P-A Have fun tying.  Jax
