Bosnian Early Season Jigs
weeks away yet, but bear with us - to have any success when targeting those
early season fish usually means one technique is king - nymphing.
Here we have a unique Early Season Jig Selection for you from our man in
Bosnia. These early season nymphs are specifically chosen to give you the
widest possible choice, no matter which river conditions you face -
heavier nymphs for the higher water levels, sparsely tied nymphs for the clearer
waters and lower flows.
These flies will work in any conditions and any style of fishing - but they excel in
the early season at any of the nymphing disciplines (Long Line, Euro, French,
Spanish etc).
Here we present our Bosnian Early Season Jig Selection,
comprising five different patterns:
Red-Neck Quill Jig - weighs 0.24g
The Sputnik Jig - weighs 0.24g
Peacock Quill Jig - weighs 0.23g
March Brown Jig - weighs 0.25g
Colonel Mustard Jig - weighs 0.34g
These nymphs look super 'fishy' the quality has to be seen to be believed - if
you click on any image or link in this email you can see for yourself, as we've
got some really nice close up images on the site.
contains two of each of the 5 patterns - in total there are 10 jig nymphs in
the selection. All tied on Ahrex specialist barbless jig hooks with

first fly I tie on when I'm fishing slow water. The body of this nymph is wrapped

Taking the March Brown nymph just that one step further with this stunning
creation. Tied on a long shank Ahrex barbless jig hook with a dark tan goose
biot body and tail, all secured with black UV resin to form an imitative hot-spot.
The thorax dubbing is a special mix of squirrel, hare's ear, ice UV and olive
rabbit hair. Topped off with a 3.0mm silver slotted tungsten bead - to help it fish
upside down. This nymph weighs in at 0.25g.
