This past January, I met Skip at a weekend seminar that our club helped organize, and he tied and talked about this very effective pattern
There are a couple articles over at Flyfisherman.com by Skip Morris, about his Skip Nymph, some variations including some anatomical variants, as well as how and when to fish them.
Gotta tie a bunch myself now!

This looks like an excellent fly – instead of using uni-stretch, I’m going to try a couple other materials – midge flex and and some stretch floss that I have on hand already!
Materials:
Hook size: #14 – #20
Brass/Gold bead to match hook size
Body: uni-stretch (color variable)
Thorax: Peacock herl or peacock dubbing

The Brassie is an excellent, and easy to tie fly.Try different colors of wire – copper, brass, red are all effective colors
The Guadalupe Green looks like it would be a very effective pattern up here – I think that I’m going to tie a few of these in different colors as well.

Came across this fly a while back on hipwader.com – and rediscovered it while organizing bookmarks. An interesting pattern for sure! Click on the image for the complete instructions on tying it.
