Simple Quill Nymph

No comments yet

A few materials, a flyhook and you have a simple catchy nymph that can be varied in colors and sizes to imitate most versions of the mayfly nymphs. Nymphs account for by far the largest part of the trout's food and this simple nymph should therefore not be missing from the fly boxes when hunting the rivers, streams or lakes for trout or graylings. In this video we have had a visit from the skilled Dutch fly tyer Jan De Haas who demonstrates the tying of this super all-round nymph.

Thread: Brown
Weight: Lead wire

The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher was updated to a new publishing system early March 2025, and there may still be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
