Field Notes

A copper john jig fly is a subsurface trout pattern that works well when fish are feeding on nymphs near the bottom. Drift it under an indicator or fish it euro-style in riffles, runs, and deeper pools where trout hold close to structure.

Pros

  • Effective for selective trout
  • Gets down quickly as a jig-style nymph
  • Versatile in rivers and still water

Cons

  • Not a surface fly
  • Can snag more easily when fished close to bottom structure
