Fly Fishing Gear

what can you tell me about a fishing nymph- ivan's green and brown?

Can anyone help- my uncle's a fishing enthusiast and has heard of a freshwater nymph "Ivan's Green and Brown". He is interested in it's appearance and how you would dress it- as he often makes his own flies for fishing- please help !!!

Ivens Green & Brown

There is a site, Dennis Shaw from Scotland, that offers an Iven's Green and Brown photo and recipe:
http://www.danica.com/FLYTIER/dshaw/ivens_green_brown.htm

Hook: He uses a hook size 8 to 12 either long shank or regular.
Thread: Yellow 8/0
Body, tail, shellback & head are all Brown & Green Ostrich Herl

Another site, Fly Fishing Forums, offers a description of how to tie it, but no photo, with a slight change from the recipe above:
http://www.flyforums.co.uk/archive/index.php/t-5754.html

HOOK – Kamasan B830 #10 (Weighted or unweighted)
THREAD – Brown
RIB - Gold Oval
TAIL/BACK/HEAD – Peacock Herl
BODY – Green and Brown Ostrich Herl

Another site offers a photo only which is very different from the first photo:
http://www.blackbassfishing.it/foto/catalogo/pages/vr544.htm

The last one is a great site that gives step by step written and photos of their version of this fly, the same fly forums UK but a different site from the other one above.

Looks like an interesting nymph with a lot of variations which means it can be adapted to fit the waters you are going to be fishing.

Hope this helps.
