Bishop Dynamite Jig

The Bishop Dynamite, designed by competitive angler Brett Bishop, is the ultimate attractor nymph that combines all the essential strike-inducing features to grab a trout's attention. When Brett first tied this fly, his goal was to create a pattern that fish couldn’t miss, incorporating a range of "hot spots" and "triggers" to stimulate strikes. The fly features a fire fluorescent thread butt and collar, flashabou rib and tail, and a dual-colored prism thorax and bead. Its Hard as Hull coat ensures the fly is incredibly durable and sinks quickly, making it perfect for fast-moving riffles or deeper runs. What began as an experiment became a permanent fixture in Brett's fly box after it proved its worth during competitions, including the 2009 National Championships on Big Fishing Creek, where it helped him land several fish in off-color, heavily pressured water. The Bishop Dynamite excels in riffles for all types of trout throughout the year and is particularly effective when French Nymphing or fished as part of a dry-dropper rig.

Pair with Realistic Nymphs in Slow Water: In slower-moving water or when longer drifts are required, fish the Bishop Dynamite as part of a dry-dropper rig. Pair it with a more realistic nymph to provide a natural option alongside the attractor nymph, increasing the chances of drawing a strike from more selective fish.
