After seeing all the Green Drake nymphs crawling around in Schmidty's entomology class our Provo River guides have been nymphing with drake nymphs and doing well. It's the most sought after hatches on the Provo, and with all these nymphs getting active and ready to hatch the fish are chowing down. This pattern is great, easy to tie, and best of all it uses Ostrich which moves like crazy! We hope you enjoy, see below for the material list:
