The Best Anglers Never Stop Learning
Dragonfly, Other, Green Stone
Easy - 5-7 Min
Coldwater
If you can tie this nymph many other trout nymphs should be easier. The beauty of this fly is that it’s a nymph that you have a lot of room to work with on the hook. I would recommend trying a few of these before switching to tie some standard prince nymphs. We love the bigger prince because it’s a little different. If you are fishing areas that are heavily pressured this fly is going to work well because it is something they haven’t seen before. It’s versatility in a trout fishery and its easy to tie techniques make this a must have for your box.
Fish this fly as a point fly (the nymph at the end of your nymph rig closest tot the bottom) and get it deep in the strike zone. It looks similar to a stone fly with the body shape and legs, get it near the bottom where they would live. I highly recommend fishing this fly on a swing as well. Swing it along a bank or through a rift and see what you can find. These make great locating patterns and work well on any trout fishery.
