Fly of the Week

You're probably all tired of seeing this darn nymph but it is actually that good. I enjoy tying patterns that catch fish and I enjoy seeing anglers catch fish on them. The Hetero-genius nymph provides a realistic design with a hint of flash and attraction.


I have fished this nymph pattern, religiously, since the early 90's and it has fooled trout in streams throughout the world. Skeptics say it's for "stockers", which is true but it will catch the wiliest of trout in the wild as well. I've had testimonials from anglers who have used it, with great success, in locales like New Zealand, Montana, Colorado, Wyoming, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Argentina, Germany, California, Canada, Michigan, Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, you name it.

Why is it so productive? It is a great searching nymph but also shows characteristics of a multitude of mayfly, stonefly, and caddis species. Consider this pattern the represent all nymph of all represent all nymphs. Long line nymph it or fish it under an indicator for the best results.

    Dave I have fished that little nymph on green or black lines (hatchery supported)as well as the blue lines (wild). Such a productive nymph that it is one of a few that I'm working on mastering the tie.

    if your tired of seeing this fly your not fishing it right;) I have found that in the summer changing the orange to a yellow sally type color works wonders. Those Smokey Mountain trout love yellow! Great fly Dave. Thanks, Josh
