My friend and Idylwilde Fly Company Signature fly tyer Hogan Brown has developed some great thin profile mayfly nymphs.
I am seeing more thin nymphs being tied commercially. The thin profile is much more natural than fat old styles like the Hare's Ear.
Here are a few of Hogan's flies:
"Hogan's Military May" in brown, great PMD pattern.
"Hogan's Military May" in Olive, nice BWO nymph.
The most popular - the "S & M Nymph" a great BWO nymph.
Thin bodied mayfly nymphs look better proportioned and much more realistic IMHO.
What do you guys think?
