This is a great article from Loren's website, flyguysoutfitting.com. His concept of micronymphs is different, not what I thought it was going to be from the title- it goes way beyond "small nymphs". I'm hoping we can get Loren to give us some dressings for his favorite versions of this- one of them is on his site already, the "Red Devil", check under the Fly Tying Tutorials.
What can you tell me about the unnamed Micronymphs in your article? The ones with wood duck tails, thread bodies, wire ribs, beadheads & fur collars, some with hot spots, some without. Looks deadly to me.

They'd be micros! I'm still playing heavily with the concept--learning much as I go along. For me, these types of flies get more important as the season progresses-especially in C&R wild trout waters.
I'm not too sure what else to say. I brace of #20 micros that a fish has never seen before can just be stupid deadly.

You know..only a small fraction of the mess that spins around in my mind actually escapes into public. There is so much uncharted territory in the sport of fly-fishing. For me the extreme fun comes with experimentation and what one learn;s through it.
Off to the water......lost too many small rainbows on a local small stillwater yesterday. Need to see if I can correct that! Time to put some more ideas into practice........
