Here's a pic of the nymph that has been working for me

Thanks for the pic Okie. I tied up something simular with some olive ice chenile after seeing yours. I'll try it out tomorrow and let you know how it works.

I use a strike indicator a majority of the time and it works really well for my. I use it when I fish my Aunt Sarah's Homely Daughter Nymph and my FLY Nymph.

I will have to try the strike indicator, I caught 2 small bass on my creation, may have had more hits and didnt know it.

I've never like the strike indicators, JMO. Always end up with knots in my leader, probably just don't know how to cast it right. lol Oh well, I still catch a few.

Get a good pair of sun glasses if you have some decent clear water. You will see silver flashes from crappie strikes. Getting the reflex time right to hook them before they spit it is my big problem.

I screw up every time I can see a fish flash at the fly, I'm much better off not looking and just waiting for the tap.

heres my version of that fly Okie

stick,
I'm sure that will catch some fish.

The Best Trout Dry I ever had was a Montana Buck tail with a Bright yellow body. The 'Deer hair' mustache keeps them afloat very well.
Watch bugs on the water and you'll see how to make the Bucktail move. Slowly, screwerlly but keep him moving just enough to make the water ripple away from him.

Those daggoned Nymphs on a dry line are tough because you dont see the hit. If you dont feel it, they are gone before you see the strike indicator move.

I never considerd that kinda fishing for Crappie or BlueGills.
