About the Cove Nymph Trout Fly

Arthur Cove, an inspiriational leading stillwater angler from the Midlands, created this simple yet excellent pattern that through the tests of time has become a classic. It is best used on a long leader with a very slow figure of eighth retrieve - just as himself Arthur fishes it with great results. The Cove nymph seems to represent a wide variety of pupae.

Expert Tip:

Many great writers and fellow fishermen regard Arther Cove as the 'patient' angler.
