Need help identifying this nymph. May tie some up to imitate the stripes.

Could be a PMD or baetis. Hard to tell the scale. A flashback pheasant tail in a 16, 18, or 20 would be a perfect match

That’s a mayfly. Pheasant tail nymph patterns are still hard to beat for an effective imitation. I’ll sometimes add legs with a partridge feather. They seem to have the right mottling for these legs.
