Heron Goldies


Some simple goldhead nymphs, not particularly fancy but they seem to have the catchy look. Fingers crossed they confirm my expectations in real action.


The tie:
#12 Hanák H260 short shank hook
3.3 mm Tungsten beadhead
a couple reddish brown rooster hackle fibers
fluo green floss thread by Tommi fly
Heron herl body
scruffy hare thorax

  2. Lovely nymphs! I am about to make some in smaller sizes for brook trout that I plan to fish the coming season. I know of a couple of small but at some places deep streams that hold very nice brook trout.

    Have fun tying your nymphs,

  3. Nice nymphs, they look like they will do the business for trout and grayling.

  4. Thank you for your kind comments!

    These particular ones have yet to hit the water, but I had good sport with sort of fly pattern in the past. They are good for both long and short style nymphing.
