Sterling Jig Nymph

We welcome back Mr. Kevin Compton of Performance Flies. Kevin shares one of his newer patterns, the Sterling jig nymph, and be sure to stick around immediately following the tying, as he also shares a tip to make your fly tying more efficient. There are lots of intermediate to advanced techniques in this one, thus be prepared to watch it more than once! Thanks for sharing this great fly with us, Kevin.
