Orvis Nymph

[scotfly]

This is a fly I know only as the Orvis Nymph, I?m not sure if that?s its correct name. I am sure that it has caught me a lot of fish on stillwaters over the years. I have used white baby wool for the thorax here, but you can use pretty much anything white.
I normally fished this fly on the point with the Heron Herl Buzzer on the dropper.
