Stan's Brassies

The Brassie - from Stan @ NymphEvolution Another nymph with a difference from Stan, The Brassie. This fly is tied to perfection (as is usual with any of Stan's flies) - and he's been experimenting again! Let me introduce you to Stan's Brassie Nymph, which are available in 3 different 1.5mm glass bead colour variations: Black Widow Chocolate Brown; and Spanish Olive Each nymph is tied with a specialist coloured wire body. Each of Stan's Brassie Nymphs are tied on size 18 Maruto 7248 medium wire (long shank) specialist barbless hooks. A great fly to try at this time of year. This style of nymph is really successful (especially through August and September) in all of our rivers (and Stillwaters), with Grayling (and Rainbow Trout) gorging on them as they become dislodged. Trundle one of these along the riverbed and hang on! This nymph imitation is ideally used as a dropper fly in any nymphing setup (and great for sight nymphing in slower flows). Don't forget about using these on stillwaters also - a figure-of-eight retrieve on a floating line keeps them moving naturally. These imitations are all tied on size 18 barbless Maruto 7248 hooks. The tying specification for these French Brassie Nymphs is: Fly Name: The Brassie Hook: Maruto 7248 medium wire barbless (long shank) Head Composition: 1.5mm Unbreakable Coloured Glass Bead Body Composition: Specialist Coloured Wire Thorax: Special French Dubbing Weight: Light - 0.04g
