June Freshwater Fly of the Month: Nymph Head Heavy Metal Copper




June Freshwater Fly of the Month

Nymph Head Heavy Metal Copper

Martin Bawden of Flymen Fishing located in Charlotte, North Carolina is the creator of the Nymph-Head™ fishing fly design.  Along with his co-owner Mike Smith, they have grown their fly tying business to include some of the most advanced ranges of fly tying beads on the planet! When Martin isn’t on the water or testing out new fly decorations, he can be found tying at various fly fishing events such as the annual International Fly Tying symposium, The Fly Fishing Shows, and the Virginia Fly Fishing Festival.    These flies are sold primarily through very select fly shops and fly retailers throughout the world, but today you get a brand new set of your very own as a member of the Freshwater Fly of the Month Club!

This fly sinks quickly and can be used as a deep nymph or a dropper. Fish seem unable to resist the combination of color, flash, and realistic shape. It is best fished where mayflies or stoneflies are common and even works in certain lake situations.
The popular green, red and blue ultra-wire bodies are enhanced with matching color tungsten beads. For a toned- down, more natural looking fly try the brown variation that has a mayfly brown wire body and tungsten bead.
