the ORB (Callibaetis Emerger)

So, this is the plan. I am going to experiment this coming season with a Callibaetis nymph/emerger that combines the Stalcup gilled nymph components: ostrich hurl tail and either ostrich hurl abdomen or a ridged biot body (so far I like the ostrich gills) and my Orb concept. The thorax will be a darker, longer ostrich or sparse Ice Dub. I will fish the Orb in the upper strata as an emerger. It could suffice as an all around nymph but at deeper depths the affect of the orb would be negated so I would opt for a buggier thorax of dubbing and feather. As deep as the light penetrates the better the Orb will fish. Light and plants and Callibaetis chain creates food for the trout. The Orb by Gary Muncy, May 2008.
