A good choice, but why do that call that a nymph rather than a
soft-hackle wet?

What about a 'Black Spider'

Black whisks for the tail, black thread for the body and black hackle, hen
for a wet fly cock for a dry.

Add a silver rib and a body of seal fur and it becomes a 'Williams.'

Change the whisks for red floss or wool,loose the seal fur, add wet fly
wings and it is a 'Blae and Black'

Use black chenille, loose the wings and palmer the hackle and it is a
'Wolly Bugger'

Black whisks, black chenille on the rear two thirds add yellow for the
front without the rib palmered with the black hackle and it becomes a
'Montana Nymph'

And all this started from a simple 'Black Spider'
