The Euro Nymphs I actually Use for trout
Over the years, I’ve narrowed my fly boxes down to euro nymphs I trust. I don’t believe you need 100 different flies to catch trout. Too many choices can make things harder when you’re standing in the water trying to decide what to tie on. The flies in this box are the patterns I use exclusively because I have confidence in them. I’ll show you how I tie them, the materials I use, and how I fish them so you can decide which ones deserve a place in your own fly box.

Slim Profile nymphs
Simple, sparse patterns built to imitate the small, slender bugs trout see every day.
Buggy Euro nymphs
