About the Pale Morning Dun Nymph Trout Fly

The nymph is fished with a greased leader in the surface film when fish can be seen "bulging" but not breaking the surface.

Expert Tip:

I seldom tie well-known patterns, preferring to create imitations of the foodforms on which I see the trout feeding. My criteria for a "good" fly design are: the fly must be easy to tie with readily available, inexpensive materials; it must be durable; and it must perform effectively.
