Premium Nymphs
90% of a fish's feeding is done below the surface, and herein lies the value of the nymph pattern. Though the thrill of catching a nice beauty on a dry fly is quite a feeling, when the fish aren't rising, nymphs are your best bet and will catch 'em in almost any condition when fished right.
These are the most deadly nymph patterns for North American streams. Assortments for other regions coming soon.
Fly-Guide to The Nymphs 10 Can: Two of each pattern below included in each can.
-
Aggravator Olive
A must have pattern in every fly box as it is excellent for both lakes and rivers, under almost any conditions, and for basically anything with gills and fins. Fish with a dead drift or against the current to get a reaction strike in rivers and streams. A great inter-species pattern for bass, salmon, steelhead, and panfish as well as the magnificent trout. (Gold bead; #12)
-
Filoplume Dragon Olive
This is a great summer pattern that produces excellent results in both lakes and moving water, and is an amazing bass nymph as well as trout. A recently developed pattern, it is slowly but surely being adopted by enthusiasts throughout the world as one of the best bass nymphs out there. (Unweighted; #8)
-
Prince Nymph
Another great all-around pattern. Best fished with a slow and smooth retrieve in the breaks of currents with sudden darts forward every once in a while to make the fly appear as if it is escaping danger or attacking food. (Gold bead; #12)
-
Gold Ribbed Hair's Ear
This pattern represents a whole variety of insects in the nymph stage, so letting the fly sink with short quick retrievals is a best bet. Best fished in slow moving waters or lakes. (Gold bead; Standard; #14)
-
Flashback Pheasant Tail
A deadly pattern for any trout stream. Best fished at a dead drift when you need the nymph to sink quickly with short quick retrievals. (Gold bead; #14)
