The Hot Head Rainbow Jig Selection - from Barbless Flies
Another nymph from the competition scene, a Czech style nymph, fantastic for both Grayling and Trout in coloured water. A classic tungsten nymph pattern that is very successful in early-season, especially when you're faced with faster/deeper water.
These are very high-quality flies tied on high-quality barbless VMC 7077 barbless jig hooks and are only available individually in sizes 12, 14 & 16.
How to fish it
This jig shines on a Euro nymphing rig in sizes 12-16. Use it as your point fly for maximum depth, or on a dropper above a lighter pattern. The tungsten bead gets it down fast, while the slim body allows it to stay at depth.
