flies!

[dominic7471]

I've got some space open in my fly box for trout patterns and wondering what nymps are needed for winter stuff?

[Blue]

Nymphs, I stick with the basics in all sizes. Haresear, pheasant tail, renegades, and my favorite is a Hasbro. Then there is the pupa's like a Zebra Midge, Rainbow Warrior.

I fish with a prince nymph a lot. Works well for me.

My bad, how did I forget that oneiagree

I was gonna give you a big list of trout nymphs but realized tht you said for winter. So basically just chironomids, carey specials, and the usual streamers (woolly buggers, leeches, etc.)

[Skilly]

size 16 glo bug

[Tim Cottage]

The usual plus scuds. Don't forget the scuds.

[Big Tuna]

lightning bugs, copper johns, stonefly nymphs

I call it a Hasbro, cause that was the guys name (sortof) that showed it to me. It is a nymph tied entirely out of marabou. Tie in marabou tips for tail add wire , twist the marabou and wrap it forward toward eye (should get bushier at eye for nice tapered body) then wrap the wire for strength. Also, a tungsten bead (color to match wire). I tie it from 18 to 12

what about summer nymphs

[Swandazi]

For Lakes in The summer:

Damselfly Nymphs:Ultra Damsels & or maroubou damsels

Dragon Fly Nymphs:Kaufmans Lake Dragon.

Midges/Chrinomids (sp?)
Ice Cream Cone Midges, griffiths nats

Streamers: Wooley Buggers, Muddler Minnows. Zonkers
Matukas.

Mayfly Nymphs
Flashback Callibaetis Nymphs, hares ears

Caddis Fly Nymphs: Soft Hackles

Crayfish: Wooley Buggers (heavilly weighted in crayfish colors)

Water Boatmen flys

Leeches: Bunny Leech or wooley buggers

(you probably wont need to tie all of these to cacth fish in lakes, most of the time a green or black wooley bugger will do the job)

[Rory McMahon]

Scuds, Chironomids, Dragonfly nymphs, damselfly nymphs, GRHE, PT nymphs, copper johns in various colors, lightning bug, marabou leeches, bunny leeches, woolly buggers, prince nymph, zug bug, olive soft hackle, hares ear soft hackle, a couple water boatmen, carey specials, and mercers trigger.
