FURLED CADDIS
This is a cool little caddis nymph that can be swung, dead drifted, or high sticked. The furled body extends away from the hook, giving it a unique profile and a little extra movement.
COPPER JOHN
The Copper John is the perfect fly in that it doesn't mimic one thing but represents many, and has a little bit of everything: a little flash, a little movement, a little weight.
PURPLE RAIN
This Pheasant Tail comes together quickly, is super buggy, and can be altered to your color of choice.
SICKNESS SCUD
Scuds are an important food source for trout. Whether you want to add a hot spot (as demonstrated here) or try and match what you're finding in your local waters, you'll be able to use this basic pattern as a jumping off point.
FLOW STONE
Big nymphs have two jobs: entice fish and get the entire rig to the bottom. The Flow Stone does both.
SO BASIC
The name of this nymph is not misleading: it is a simple one! But it's also an effective one.
SIZZLA
This little nymph fills two things quickly: a fly box, and a trout's mouth. Tie this baby up in as many colors as possible and get to work.
