That abdomen is amazing! My buddy has a fly called the 2 cent caddis that is nothing more than a body of marabou. Tied at the tip and wrapped, the taper of the marabou gives an incredible chunky taper to the body. Well done sir

Try it when tying Woolly Buggers.

Norm, That's just stunning. The color, the attention to detail, and the simple beauty of it. Stunning fits.

I somehow missed this one earlier. Beautiful nymph Norm. That tapered body is terrific.

I love the contrast in materials making it highly visible in all waters.
