Euro Jig Purple Copper John

The "Jig" style nymph has been used for years on the european competition circuit. Tied on on a tungsten bead jig, this "hook up" approach to nymphing allow you to get to the bottom without all the snags. Commonly used as part of a tighlining rig used in tandem with our Czech nymph patterns. RiverBum is bringing these top performing flies to the US. The Euro Jig Purple Copper John is the perfect prospecting pattern. It combines all the fishing catching characteristics of the traditional Copper John, but is purple. Why Purple? Because purple is one of the last colors to disappear underwater. That's a pretty important characteristic when you're nymphing the bottom, don't you think?
