If your not sure what this is, it is a "Little Black Stonefly" it showed up last week at the house, now that tells you a lot about what is going on in our underwater world. In no way am I saying that we are going to have a hatch when the outside temp. this morning was a balmy 12 degrees but is shows how active the nymphs are this year with out to much really cold weather until now, this guy was a good size #14. Might get you to start to tie some #14 & 16 "Black" pheasant tail nymphs, you can get dyed tails online but I would not use copper wire for ribbing I would use silver wire, remember to wind the PT towards you and the ribbing away from you because it makes for a much better body that will stand some abuse. I use real peacock for the thorax because there is simply nothing better than it for attracting fish. Get tying and throw another log on the fire in the meantime, just think Feb and March are not that far away.
