Re: [VFB] Grey Goose nymph (was:goose wing)

[Martin Westbeek]

Thanks for the picture, Hans. The wire is copper, though, where I would expect gold. The grey/gold combination should give the appearance of a translucent sort of olive body. I would also expect the base of the feather fibres to be a bit darker to bring out the thorax cover.
Not meant as criticism of course, but still I wonder why she may have changed things?

Use the large primary feathers for the Grey Goose nymph. It's like a
PTN, except that you use goose wing and gold wire. Use the soft barbs
from the lower end of the feather. They are grey/olive. Officially the
pattern calls for an English barnyard goose, but the one you have will
work just as well. A great pattern to fish!

Picture I shot of an "original" Grey Goose nymph on:

The actual nymph shown is the Frank Sawyer pattern and was tied by his wife, mrs. Sawyer.

Cheers,
Hans
