Nymph Fly Tying...?

[cwoodson]

what are some basic materials that i need to tie nymphs? like midges, pheasant tails, prince nymphs, and scuds. I already have a vice and all the tools im talking about hackles and thread and such

Your question sounds simple but it is a little more complicated then just spouting out materials we think you will use.
best thing to do is pick a couple patterns you would like to tie. Get the recipe. buy the materials for those patterns tie them. pick more and build you supplies that way.

Recipe examples

Pheasant tail

Hook: 2x long nymph 18-14
Thread :8/0 black
Tail: Pheasant tail fibers
rib: copper wire
abdomen: pheasant tail
thorax: peacock herl

Prince nymph

Hook: 2x long nymph 16-12
Thread: 6/0 black
Tail: brown (goose) biots
rib: gold french oval tinsel
Body: peacock herl
Wing: white biots

gold beads good addition to both 3

Have fun tying!!
