Fluro Red Bead Hare and Copper Custom-tied Dozen

Fluro Red Bead Hare and Copper Nymph

Description: The Fluro Red Bead Hare and Copper Nymph is a dynamic variation of the traditional Hare and Copper Nymph. This pattern features a fluorescent red bead head, which adds weight and a visual trigger for fish. The body is crafted from hare’s mask fur, providing a natural, buggy appearance, while the copper ribbing adds durability and a subtle flash. This combination makes it an excellent imitation of various aquatic insects, particularly mayfly and caddisfly nymphs.

Fishing Techniques:

1. Indicator Nymphing: Use a strike indicator to detect subtle strikes. The bright bead helps in low-light conditions and murky waters
2. Euro Nymphing: This technique is effective in fast currents and deeper waters. The added weight of the bead ensures the fly reaches the strike zone quickly
3. Dry-Dropper Rig: Pair the nymph with a buoyant dry fly. The dry fly acts as an indicator while the nymph drifts below, making it versatile for various water conditions¹.
4. Dead Drift: Cast upstream and allow the nymph to drift naturally with the current. This technique is particularly effective in slower-moving waters where fish are more likely to inspect the fly closely

Locations:

• Rivers and Streams: Ideal for fishing in both fast and slow-moving sections. The added weight of the bead helps the fly reach the bottom quickly, making it effective in deeper pools and runs
• Lakes and Ponds: Use a sinking line or add split shot to get the fly down to the desired depth. This nymph can be very effective when fish are feeding on nymphs near the bottom
• Tailwaters: The consistent flow and temperature of tailwaters make them perfect for nymphing. The Fluro Red Bead Hare and Copper Nymph can be particularly effective in these environments where fish are often selective
