RE: [VFB] Mark's BWO Nymph pattern/ recipe

Pete,

I might be wrong but think a BWO nymph is imitated by a pheasant tail nymph.  Possibly, "Mark's" refers to replacing the copper body with turkey biot, or a combination of biot & copper wire... sort of alternating to give not only heavy segmentation but a bit of shimmer?  Just a guess.

Hello, everyone-

  A fishing buddy of mine had great winter success with a size 16 "Mark's BWO Nymph," and I came home wanting to at least find the pattern (so I can tie some after I finish the Panfish swap flies I have due)... I can't seem to find a pattern / recipe for this fly anywhere!  Does anyone have a link or recipe to this fly?  I suspect it is a biot body, but I only saw the thing from 25 feet upstream or so; my imagination is the best I have right now.

Any help would be most appreciated!

Tight wraps,

Pete
