BQ1 Black Devil Barbless Nymph

BQ1 Black Devil Barbless Nymph

BQ1 Black Devil Barbless Nymph is a deadly nymph pattern that will catch lots of fish. It will work great for any kind of river, current or conditions. The body and the hackle/legs are constructed with CDC feathers, so the fly will ‘move’ and pulse in the water at all times, even when you keep your rod steady. The water currents will move each barb, thus creating a life-like appearance for your fly. A small orange hot spot will increase the aggressive behavior of the fish. Tied on a barbless, jig-type hook with a tungsten bead to give extra weight to the fly.

BQ1 Black Devil Barbless Nymph comes in three hook sizes #12, #14, and #16.
