Description
The Hellgrammite Nymph is a durable and effective pattern, simple to tie yet highly productive. Opt for larger sizes, around 3 to 4 inches, to match the size of the natural hellgrammites and entice strikes from predatory fish. Hook size 4-8
Curated by the IdentaFly fly fishing team.
Pro Tip
Active Jigging in Deep Pools: In slower, deeper pools, strip or jig the nymph in short, erratic bursts to imitate the swimming motion of a fleeing hellgrammite. This technique works particularly well for bass and aggressive trout holding in still water or near structure.
