Bosnian Biot Nymph Selection - Our 'man in Bosnia' has been at it again - with some more very tempting nymphs - especially tied for success in Autumn & Winter.
We try to plan all of our fly selection at least 3 months in advance, when asked what we were planning for the end of the river trout season, we wanted to do something a little different, so we asked him to surprise us and tie something which he would use himself on rivers and stillwaters, for Trout, Grayling and Softmouth Trout in Bosnia.
His reply was "I will tie you a few secret biot nymph patterns, which are the first I try on any waters in the colder months, we just call them a Biot nymph" - this had us intrigued, we had no photos to go on, so we trusted his judgement and said, "go for it".
This selection of 12 Bosnian Biot Nymphs includes 4 different colours, 3 each of the following:
- Fluoro Green Biot Nymph
- Fluoro Pink Biot Nymph

The specialist hook used in each of these Biot Nymphs is the Hends BL124 Barbless Jig hook:
- Hook Size: 16
- Hook Length: 9.50mm
- Hook Gape: 5.00mm
- Nymph Weight: 0.25g
- Hook Finish: Blak Nickel
Our Bosnian Biot Nymph Selection contains 12 nymphs (4 different colours, 3 of each) all tied on Hends BL124 barbless jig hooks in a size 16.
A 'biot' is a short, stiff fibre that comes from the leading edge of a bird's primary flight feathers. They are an ideal material for creating life-like segmented bodies on nymphs.
These specialist Trout & Grayling nymphs are all tied on Size 16 Hends BL124 barbless jig hooks.
So what nymphs are best for tempting those late-season trout (and early grayling)?
Usually, trout look to nymphs when feeding in the later season/colder water as the dry fly action tends to dramatically reduce as the water temperature cools. These smaller nymphs have been tied to fish as naturally as possible, with the UV resin adding a small amount of weight - keeping your nymph where it needs to be.
Late-season nymph fishing is more about finding the fish, so it's important to keep on the move and only pass your nymphs through a lane a couple of times (see below) - if there's a fish there they will usually take it straight away.
Top Tip: if you are fishing in coloured water, use the Fluorescent Green or Fluorescent Orange Biot Nymph.
