BLM Nymph: A Big Horn River Specialty
Posted by Kip on Thursday, June 22 @ 21:39:09 PDT
Has anyone heard of the "BLM" nymph? I was told it is very effective on the Big Horn River in Thermopolis, Wyoming. I would like to tie it. Does anyone know the recipe? What insect is it supposed to imitate? Has anyone fished it? I would greatly appreciate any feedback.

Re: BLM Nymph: A Big Horn River Specialty by ChrisR on Friday, June 23 @ 05:08:00 PDT | Stands for "Beaded Little Mayfly". Pretty nice universal mayfly nymph. Good as a dropper behind a bigger nymph pattern or bugger. Here's the recipe from the Orvis site.
Traditional 2XL Nymph Hook, sizes 16-20
Thread 8/0 to match pattern
Thorax Black bead for black BLM; copper bead for olive, peacock and Pheasant Tail BLM; gold bead for gold and red BLM
Abdomen Tying thread or peasant tail
Tail, Body, Wing Case and Legs Angel Hair, green pearl color
Ribbing Small copper Ultra-Wire on black, olive, peacock, and Pheasant Tail BLM; Small amber Ultra-Wire on gold and red BLM
