This is a tie I came up with that i call trout bane. Its very simple and quick to tie. Its a great little fly. It can be very effective. Sorry not my best pics.... I will get some better ones soon.
 Tie these up in size 20, and dark for a trico nymph. Make them stouter then this one here. Perhaps i will do a step by step tying of the Trout Bane.... Perhaps....
