Hans,
Great flies and I nhope you have some 'black' flymphs with you in small sizes. GRHE's with weight and a soft hackle would work a treat also.

Philip,

Still filling the box... 'black' nymphs? What size are you suggesting?

Something like this?

Haka
Hook: Wright & McGill 59 #18 (or equivalent 2XL nymph hook)
'Thread'/weight: Copper wire, black
Tail/abdomen/thorax/wing case: Magpie barbs

Note: This is my New Zealand variation on Frank Sawyer's Pheasant Tail nymph. I have named it after the ceremonial Maori war chant display.

Cheers,
Hans W
