Newest Olive Nymph

 I have been working on a heavier BWO point fly for a nymph rig. Also to use the nymph as attractor pattern. I think I have the pattern. Been fishing one this fall similar to this, it was tied with a tungsten gold bead and I didn't like looks. I received some new Dark Olive Luccent tungsten beads from Montana Fly Company and that is what the pattern needed. Now it is ready for some field testing, the one similar to this preformed well. This is a quick tie
Hook: MFC#7076 1XL Size 14 thru 20
Bead: MFC Luccent Tungsten Dark Olive
Thread: MFC 8/0 light olive
Tail: Coq De Lon Medium Pardo
Rib: 1 x-sm gold wire & 1 x-sm green wire
Abdomen: MFC 8/0 Light Olive thread colored on the top half with sepia Pantone marker
Wing Case: Lagartun Flat Mini Braid Dark Olive
Thorax: Arizona Peacock Dubbing in Bronze. Inserted in dubbing loop and picked out.

Also I'm trying to name this pattern, not much creative juices flowing right know. Give me your ideas
