Lucky Grouch Nymph :

Tier: Allan Fish

 

How, when and where to fish:

The Lucky Grouch Nymph is a scraggly little (size 14) thing that my wife has found to be a killer on trout (in her hands). It's made of cat fur. Two cats, to be exact. Lucky is a gray cat - his fur is the thorax. Grouch was a calico cat with dirty creamy gray belly fur. For some reason, her belly fur shed, although the rest didn't. So I used 'Grouchbelly fur" for the abdomen. Only the abdomen is ribbed.
