Soldarini Tungsten Nymphe - Copper John
The Copper John is a well-known nymph that probably everyone has fished - and rightly so. Nymph fishing is becoming more and more popular, the number of patterns is growing daily and the Copper John is used less and less. But this is exactly a mistake, whether on a lowland river or on a high alpine mountain stream as a stonefly imitation, the Copper John is used in almost all rivers and is very successful there. Not without reason the pattern has not changed over decades - Never change a winning nymph!
The typical Copper John nymph is tied with a copper wire that represents the body up to the thorax. This gives the fly a high dead weight and little floatation, perfect for fast changing currents and deep turns.
Hook size: #12, #14
