Information about Nymphs flies
Nymphs are aquatic insects that are still in their underwater stage, not having reached their adult, or flying, stage of life yet.
Trout have a diet that consists primarily of sub-surface insects (nymphs).
A key to successful nymphing is being able to know how to get your nymph pattern to the right depth. There for it is important to make accurate casts, so as to allow the nymph to sink to the right depth where you believe the fish may be is!

It makes no sense to go stalking big trout without the right flies for the job. The All Lead Green Buzzer is one a series of my flies are made for the angler who intends to go to the big fish waters, where you can see and target your Trout,so it is very important that you have a selection of stalking flies. The fish you are after will appear to be not too deep,but with refraction this is deceptive,hence the need for heavy flies,so that they get down to the level of the Trout. For big fish waters where the water is not clear,stalking flies are still very necessary but for these flies I add colour,so that they show up in the water.If the Trout can see your fly,it makes catching them that little bit easier, but never simple.
