Golden Olive Nymph

This is a simple little nymph that I've been busy tying this winter for a client. It has a nice dark silhouette and contrasting gold trim. If you want to add a little more durability to the body by adding a coat of head cement after the ribbing is wrapped onto the body of the fly. I tie this with a brass bead (3mm for #12), but you can use tungsten to weight the fly heavier. You may also want to tie this on a curved hook like the Mustad C49s. I would recommend having both a straightened version and the curved variant in your fly box.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
