Nomads are great on the stillwaters although I feel they're a bit misunderstood. Although they look like a lure or streamer, they're really at their best tied in smaller sizes and used more like a nymph. This damsel like number is incredibly effective as a point fly with a couple of nymphs or buzzers on the droppers. Tie them in all the usual colours you'd use for stillwater lures just fish them like nymphs!
