After rooting around in a few of my favorite spots from last season I found a few has two or more varieties of Baetis(BWO) nymph. One of which stood out to me and as such I’ve tied essentially a Hare’s Ear nymph with a different color body and wing case. I tried to tie these as close as I could to the original size of the nymph and I think I came pretty close, next sample I get I will compare. I decided to dub this fly the Yeller Belly Baetis. So here it is:
The Yeller Belly:
- Hook: #16-18 2xLong Nymph
- Thread: Yellow 8/0
- Tail: Lemon Woodduck Fibers
- Rib: Silver SM Ultra Wire
- Body: Yellow/Pale Yellow Dubbing Mix
- Wing Case: Pearlecent Krystal Flash
- Thorax: Yellow Dubbing
