About the Barrie Welham Nymph Trout Fly

Barrie Welham a highly respected angler and sucessful businessman in the tackle industry, created this nymph in the 1960's. The "Barrie Welham Nymph" was developed when Barrie needed a nymph that sank slowly for trout that were feeding a little below the surface and there was none in his flybox that would do.
