Quill Body Euro Nymph

This is a very versatile fly to have in a box. The weight of the fly allows this fly to sink very quickly and stay on the bottom. This fly is very friendly to the beginner euro nympher, as the jig hook will ride hook point up along the bottom, and the tungsten bead with the weight wraps lets the angler feel every bump along the bottom of the river. The stringy dubbing collar allows this fly to have some movement in the water as well, making the fly look like an early stage emerging insect coming off the bottom, so it is not imperative to have a perfectly dead drifted fly. This fly also works very well under a terrestrial dry fly in the summertime and can get some of those less eager fish to bite. Tie it on and give it a go!
