Hook    :  Mustad 3906 b  / 80050 br size 10 - 16
Thread  :  Thin copper wire, to be tied in, and formed on the hook.
Tail	:  Some short fibers of phesant tail.
Body    :  Phesant tail fibers who are twisted until the body is covered, then tied back to 
           form a wingcase. The fibers are then tied off with the copper wire. Brush out some fibers
           to imitate legs.
Sawyer made this classic nymph witch can be tied in many sizes. So it is only for the fisherman to use his imagination and he/she will have see the many good sides of this nymph.
