About the Black Nomad Trout Fly

Great search pattern, often works at its best late in the season. The idea of this fly having the bead tied further back is so that the fly will sink at a level rate giving it a better hooking rate on the drop.

Varivas hooks are the latest innovation when it comes to tying fresh water flies. They are all made to the highest specification with points that make them the ultimate when it comes to sharpness. This range of hooks has recently been redesigned to focus on what makes VARIVAS the best when it comes to function and reliability. The fine dry fly series feature micro-barb and long-tapered points to give them superior setting properties.
