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.

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.
