GRHE is awell known nymph which is used all over the world. There are many variations on this theme. Some are better, others are less good. The classic model will always be effective because it is a universal model and because it imitates several insects at the same time.

The variant I present is super simple, without complications. Only hare hair dubbing, tinsel gold and CDC hackle. It is a model for spring and summer, a model that is as simple to make as it is effective. I always use it when I start fishing. Depending on how the fish respond, I change it to PT or stay on the type of buggy models

Materials:

• Jig hook Demmon ST320 size #14
• Thread: brown or cream
• Tail: Coq de Leon corzuno claro or medio
• Ribbing: gold
• Body: Super spike dubbing
• Hackle/Legs : CDC Khaki Campbell -2 turns mixed with super spike dubbing and fixed in dubbing loop
• Bead: Tungsten in silver. Always silver because is more efficient than gold

The Micro Glossy Brown Nymph is tied as simple as possible in ordinary colors which you find on all insects from almost all rivers from Europe. It has brown and olive with some UV reflective dubbing to be more attractive to fish and for movement a few turns of cdc are made behind the bead.

Materials:

• Hook: Hanak 480 #16
• Thread: brown
• Body: Micro Wormy Body – red dirt worm color
• Thorax: a combination of UV reflective hackle in olive, brown and green
• Hackle: CDC natural grey – a light color with brown shades
• Hot Spot: Orange thread

Now this model has already become a reference if we talk about fishing at the beginning of the season. Likewise, it is effective in dirty waters or with increased flow after rains.

It is a simple PT with an aggressive color combination that awakens the territorial instinct of the fish. The model is available in Troutline shop and are made by my friend Peter Durisik, like always , tied perfectly 🙂

It is one of my favorite models, I also make it in brown or olive colors. But the black version is the most effective of them. Or at least for me 🙂

This fly is a fantastic nymph tied by my friend Peter Durisik and works very well on muddy waters or in dark and deep pools. It is one of the best buggy nymph for early season trout fishing.

Materials:

• Hook Demmon ST 320 #12
• Thread: Black
• Body : squirrel dubbing in black
• Hackle: CDC natural grey mixed with ultra violet purple dubbing and hybrid dubbin in black pepper
• Tail: Coq de Leon
• Ribbing: silver wire

The red killer micro worm is an alternative at well known squirmy wormy flies. This worm is tied on size #16-20 and works great in water. Soft enough to be vibrant in water and to resist at fish teeth. Another plus is in quality of material, made on a silicone type of gel it is resistant at UV light. That means the fly can hang on the fishing vest without being afraid that the light will disintegrate it.

Materials:

• Hook ST320 #16-20
• Thread: Red any you like
• Body: Micro Wormy Body – killer red
• Bead: Tungsten in metallic red

Yes, it has a strange name 🙂 Pink is more for ladies. We guys are into other colors, we’re not pink lovers…

I started tying this fly for a friend, I didn’t have much faith in it. I have a few extra flies left that I carry with me in the box. At one point I said to try them. I won’t tell you that since then I always have them with me and use them every time. That’s all I can tell you, they have never disappointed me so far 🙂

• Thread: Yellow
• Body Thread: Polyfloss pink or light pink
• Ribbing: Perdigon skin in PSMF3
