The Answer to "What Are They Biting?"
Every fly angler knows the feeling: you're on the water, the conditions seem perfect, but the fish are tight-lipped. You need a secret weapon, a confidence fly that just works. Meet the Rivfly "Go-To" Squirrel Hair Nymph.
Tied to be deliberately "buggy" and impressionistic, this nymph isn't an exact imitation of one thing, but a suggestion of everything. The magic lies in its construction:
-
The Body: We use premium squirrel hair dubbing, known for its unique texture and natural coloration. When submerged, the spiky guard hairs trap tiny air bubbles and wave enticingly in the current, perfectly mimicking the movement of an emerging insect or a dislodged nymph. It simply looks alive.
-
The Sink Rate: The gold bead head isn't just for looks. It provides the necessary weight to get the fly down into the feeding zone—fast. Whether you're fishing deep pools, fast riffles, or using modern Euro nymphing techniques, this fly stays where the fish are.
-
The Trigger: That small, bright orange collar is a game-changer. It acts as a natural "hot spot," a proven trigger that draws the fish's eye and provokes an aggressive take, even when they aren't actively feeding.
The Squirrel Hair Nymph is incredibly versatile.
- As a point fly in a multi-nymph rig (Euro or indicator).
- As a single searching pattern cast upstream and dead-drifted.
- Under a dry fly in a dry-dropper setup.
