Guideline Nymph - Grayling Slayer
"Euro Nymphing" has become a very popular term amongs fly fishers all across the globe during the last couple of years. At the same time as these different tight line nymphing techniques (e.g. Czech Nymphing, French Nymphing, Spanish Nymphing etc.) evolved, new flies and new interpretations of classic nymph patterns arose too. Due to new tying materials like jig hooks and tungsten beads it is finally possible to present small flies in fast current to Trout and Grayling feeding close to the bottom. A big advantage on many rivers! The company Guideline has recognized this and offers a range of high-quality flies.
The Hare's Ear is without doubt one of the true classics and a must-have for any fly box. This modern variation by Guideline comes with a copper tungsten bead and orange synthetic dubbing and is therefor a great choice in fast running waters and when fish take nymphs close to the river bottom. A nice pattern for colored waters. Graylings love this fly but trout will eat it also.
