"Czech" Nymph Anchor flies

[Dr. Gonzo]

I've been experimenting with some new materials in preparation for my usual winter nymphing regimen. I've been tying some heavy anchor flies for tandem rigs. This time I wanted to incorporate some flashy material to trigger strikes in the colder weather. Usually people use a "hot-spot" but I wanted to experiment with making more of a "hot-fly" by using flash in every aspect of the fly. The material on the back is a synthetic flash material that I wrapped to create the body and obviously I dubbed some flash up at the thorax.

I will probably run these with egg patterns, and small unweighted nymph patterns.

Note: I am still not very good at tying so constructive criticism is very welcome!

Very nice Dr.
Keep the abdomen thinner with a taper up to the thorax.
Dub thorax and pick out the material, that makes it a little bushier there.
Love those colors with the flash.
