CBD Nymph

The CBD Nymph, created by Umpqua, blends the best features of Euro jig-nymph patterns with the characteristics of traditional Western nymphs. Recognizing the need for a fly that could offer the quick sink rate and hook-point-up presentation of Euro nymphs, while also providing a more realistic profile and natural colors, the CBD Nymph was born. The design combines a heavy jig body for rapid sinking, lifelike leg and thorax features, and a subtle color palette that makes it versatile in a variety of fishing conditions. Whether in fast-moving water or deeper runs, the CBD’s profile, movement, and color make it a go-to pattern for anglers seeking a reliable nymph that can handle different fishing situations without overwhelming the fish.

Vary the Retrieve Speed: While Euro nymphing techniques often involve a controlled drift, varying the speed of your retrieve can make the CBD Nymph even more enticing. A slightly quicker retrieve can enhance the movement of the fly, making it stand out to trout that may be more selectively feeding.
