Description

This is a complete tying kit with all the materials required to tie 24 flies in this Claret Nymph pattern. Plus, there will be lots left over, so additional hooks can be added at a later date to get even more flies from these materials.

The Claret Nymph is a somewhat of a superhero in the fly box, getting the job done when so many other flies just don’t get a look-in from the fish. The claret colour almost has a certain voodoo to it that flyfishers all over Tasmania and the southern states of the mainland know all too well. There’s something special about the claret that just works.

This pattern is brilliant for lake fishing when there are mayflies about, or on the rivers as a single nymph or part of a tandem rig. The added mass of a tungsten bead gets this fly down in front of the fish fast without requiring it to be too bulky, keeping a more natural profile and not making too great of a splash as it hits the water’s surface.

Now this kit has been updated with the newly released Southern Claret Dubbing from Chuck’N’Duck, it makes this fly really come to life.
