I don't have a camera that is decent at taking close up photos, so the Frenchies shown are size 14 and the first ones I tied. The other two nymphs are sowbugs. You can see that I don't pick their bodies out as much as most people. I know a couple old timers that were extremely successful using tightly wound muskrat nymphs. These guys never picked their sowbugs out at all, which leads me to believe a sowbug is a sowbug and presentation is everything.
