Ed Storey, of Feathercraft, published his pattern for a Lynx Tail nymph a few years back. I've got it somewhere. Basically it's a leaded hook with abdomen created by dubbing using the light-colored portion of the tail and the thorax from the dark part of the tail. Most feline fur makes excellent nymph dubbing. However, as shown by Dave Lewis with his Tweeter Caddis, you can blend cat fur with antron to make good dry fly dubbing. Allan Allan Fish Greenwood, IN [EMAIL PROTECTED]
