1st Prince Nymph

I like to use brown dry fly hackle, not very webby, but has always made a nice looking fly for me.
I tie in 4 or 5 long peacock herl fibers and a pice of green tying thread with it. then I pinch them with the hackle pliers and spin them until I have what looks like a very thin rope of peacock chenile. The tying thread keeps the peacock stems from breaking, which can happen easily if you don't use the thread. Honestly, my princes tied with peacock colored ice-dub seem to work as well as those tied with herl, and they're significantly easier.
I don't do a ball of brown dubbing, just a small tag or ruby colored thread. If you tie the biot tails in so that the natural curve is outward they don't stick together.

Those'll catch nymph eating fish just fine.
I still tie them close to the original tie. (palmered hackle) and use fine wire like Swinga' mentioned. The wire will definitely help in durability.
2-3 herl. hen hackle palmered head to tail. tie the hackle down at the tail with the fine gold wire. spiral wrap the wire up to the head.
Cheap hen backs make nice soft hackle.
Arizona peacock dubbing also makes for a durable fly.
 
 

Looks good to me bings. Only thing i'd do different is to use hackle for the legs, but I doubt it would make a difference.

Bings,  I love your flies and the pictures.  I only have one question or statement, I hope this does not cut down on your walleye fishing.  I love all the pictures you post for both walleye and stream fishing.

bings they look real good you might try tying with a thinner thread
if you are worried about build up as for the thread againest the bead
heck some i tied the bead poked out of the thread and i still caught fish on them
when i used them at hereford manor

bings i for got to tell ya if you flip over the biot cocave side down the wings will lie down for you just my opinion.I still like them alot though
