Copper Nymph


 The Copper Nymph is a Scottish fly that could be seen as something of a precursor to the Copper John, but it's a fantastic river pattern for trout and grayling in its own right. It can be fished in a variety of ways but I have found it to be a very effective nymph for duo style fishing. Try changing the colours to suggest different species of insect or add hotspots for attraction.

Despite its simplicity, this fly is a great taker of both trout and grayling and frankly, the partridge and yellow should be in every river angler's box.
