Description
The Purdee John is a tactical jig nymph designed by John P. Newbury, an Oregon-based fly tyer renowned for his innovative patterns. This fly features a prominent tail and a two-toned head, effectively imitating the Pale Morning Dun (PMD) mayfly nymph. Its slender profile and subtle flash make it particularly effective in clear waters where fish are selective.
Curated by the IdentaFly fly fishing team.
Pro Tip
Utilize the Purdee John in a Euro nymphing setup to achieve a quick descent into deep pools and fast currents, ensuring the fly reaches the strike zone promptly.
