Sorry for the delay in responding. Yes 8lb would be fine. I used 10lb as it’s just slightly stiffer when adding and removing your section of tippet for the nymph.
Sorry for the delay in responding. Typically I use lighter nymphs under the due method. So around the 3 - 3.5mm is comfortable. If I need to go any heavier then I will use an indicator. 👍🏻
That is a beautifully tied fly. Thanks for sharing
Thank you
Crickey, a lot of materials and a complicated tie, but a great idea and it gives me some really good options for other flies such as a suspended FAB
Nice tie John. Think I will tie a few up for grayling fishing this winter with a shrimp pattern underneath.
Let me know how you get on with them out on the river 👍🏻
Could you use 8lb mono equally well?

Wondering what weight nymph do you find your 4mm foam post will hold up.Do you find the foam floats better than polypropylene posts.Cheers
