While there are no secret patterns that are guaranteed to catch fish every time you are on the water, the closest thing to it would be the Tungsten Bead Head CDC Hackle Jig Nymph Fly. This generalist nymph pattern is close enough in color to a host of invertebrate species that - when fished in a number of sizes - can be used to effectively imitate almost any mayfly or stonefly nymph.
Our Jiggy CDC Hackle Pheasant Tail Nymphs are tied with tungsten beadheads and barbless, competition style jig hooks allowing them to help them sink fast and drift down the river point up to minimize snagging. This fly pattern is perfect for use in euro nymphing / czech nymphing or traditional nymphing rigs.
