Tying the Quill Body Nymph
This Quill Body nymph pattern features the new synthetic quill body from Hareline Dubbin. The addition of Hareline’s synthetic quill creates a durable and realistic looking body for any nymph pattern. Coating the body with UV resin ensures durability- we like the Clear Clear Goo Hydro for applications such as these, however Loon’s Thin UV Fly Finish also will work well.
