The Downtown Brown is a nifty little March Brown nymph, with a tag that serves as a hot spot.

The Pheasant Tail Nymph is as well known as any fly out there, and this is it's collared cousin.  It's a quick way to fill a fly box and catch a lot of fish.

Simple, time-tested, and effective, the Pheasant Tail Nymph (often abbreviated to 'PT') is on the short list of most anglers.

The Frenchie is a member of an increasingly popular family of flies: competition nymphs. With a recipe that consists of only a few materials, it is a great way to fill boxes quickly with an effective, quick-sinking little fish catcher.

A classic wet fly with varying origin stories, this is an anything-that-swims pattern for lakes and rivers.  It uses just a few materials, comes together quickly, and can be modified in a myriad of ways.

This is a very effective nymph pattern utilizing a few materials that make it pop.  Try tying a few of these up in various colors and test on the water to see what works for you.
