Originally designed for Western fly fishing waters by John Barr of Colorado, the Copper John quickly became known as a go-to nymph fly world wide. The Copper John has joined the other "Big Two": the Pheasant Tail and Gold Ribbed Hare's Ear Nymphs, as fish-catching machines. Since it's introduction in the 1990's, the Copper John has been tied in every color available in it's copper wire body. You should always have a variety of sizes and colors in your fly box!
- Essential on freestone rivers where insect nymphs are an important trout food.
- Copper John nymph fly patterns imitate the larval stage of aquatic insects, which represent over 90% of the trout diet.
- The Fly Fishing Place Copper John flies are all hand tied by professional tiers using premium materials and the highest quality hooks.
- Copper John flies can be fished alone, under a Strike Indicator, or under a larger dry fly like a Foam Hopper in an Indicator rig. Bead heads and Double Bead bodies help the flies get quickly deep in the water column where the trout feed.
