Description
G.H. Pink Chemy Nymph. This is a weighted, brightly colored attractor nymph. While the name may refer to a specific pattern, its key features are the large, iridescent pink bead head and the dark, segmented body. This combination of weight, flash, and color is highly effective at getting the attention of aggressive fish, particularly in a "put-and-take" or heavily fished environment.
Type of Fly: Nymph (specifically, an attractor nymph with a bead head).
Target Fish: This fly is an excellent choice for trout (especially rainbow trout), but it can also attract other aggressive freshwater species like steelhead and grayling.
When to Fish: This fly is effective year-round. The bright color is particularly useful in murky or off-color water, or in low-light conditions when the flash of the bead can be a key trigger. It can be fished successfully at any time of day.
Saltwater or Freshwater: This is a freshwater fly.
Best Fishing Locations: The heavy bead makes this fly ideal for fishing in deep pools, fast-flowing rivers, and still waters like lakes and ponds where fish are holding deep.
