Rusher's Steelhead Nymph
How to tie a Rusher's Steelhead Nymph Fly
Step
1
Lay a thread base
Step
2
Splay a pair of goose biots at the bend of the hook and tie it in. Use care to ensure they stay aligned and are parallel to the shank of the hook.
Step
3
Tie in the chenille at the bend and wrap forward to about just over halfway up the shank
Step
4
Tie in your diamond braid for your wing casing where you tied off the chenille
Step

Tie in your estaz and wrap two or three times to build the thorax, and tie it off. This should take you close enough to the eye of the hook to eventually build a head.

Whip finish and use your favorite head cement
