The original RS 2 was invented by Rim Chung in the early 1970's. His objective for designing the RS 2 was to come up with a simple, yet realistic nymph that imitated an emerging mayfly. My pattern uses dark dun hackle fibers for the tail (for the ease of tying), gray Super Fine Dubbing for a thin and sparse abdomen, Glamour Madeira for the wing, and a small silver-lined glass bead to enhance the gas bubble-effect that occurs during the emerging process.
