Description

The Copper John is one of those flies that needs to be in every small stream flyfisher’s box, for the simple fact that it catches fish, especially in Victorian freestone streams where stoneflies are always prevalent. These are tied by Eugene to a traditional recipe with goose biots for tail and legs, in the classic copper body colour. A great little imitation for a lighter colour stonefly, and used with great effect as a general searching nymph in freestone streams.

Now sold as single units per hook size. Buy as few or as many as you like!

Of course, if you want to tie this pattern yourself, Troutlore offers all the quality materials for this pattern.

Vagabond Flies are tied by Eugene O’Dell, who’s lived and fished all around Australia of the years, yet is now located in New South Wales. His patterns have been put to the test over the years and refined to work with the best materials available and to better perform in Australian conditions. This Copper John nymph pattern is tied on quality hooks and using the best materials, this is a great addition to any fly box for all times of the the stream season.
