Description
Fly Type: This is a heavy nymph pattern, specifically designed to sink quickly and get to the bottom.
Target Species: The Greenland Nymph is a highly effective fly for targeting trout, grayling, and rainbow trout. Its vibrant color also makes it a fantastic pattern for aggressive species like Arctic char.
Best Time to Fish: This fly works well year-round, but it is especially useful in the fall and winter, or in cold water conditions when fish are holding deep in the water column.
Water Type: Primarily a freshwater fly.
Best Location: This fly is perfect for fishing in deep pools, fast-moving rivers, and large lakes where you need to get your fly down to the fish quickly.
Other Info: The key to this fly's success is its weight and color, which are designed to grab a fish's attention.
Tungsten Bead: The tungsten bead is much heavier than a traditional brass bead, which ensures the fly sinks fast and stays near the bottom, even in strong currents.
Pink Attractor: The pink color is not meant to imitate a specific insect. Instead, it acts as a strong visual trigger that can provoke a strike from aggressive or territorial fish, especially in murky or colored water.
Versatility: The Greenland Nymph is a great "search pattern" to use when you don't know what the fish are feeding on. Its combination of weight and a vibrant color makes it a staple for many nymphing rigs.
