Umpqua Euro Jig Nymph Olive Flash 2 Pack

Nymphs and wet flies are an extremely popular category of fly patterns, designed to imitate insects and worms and fished below the water surface. A wide variety of fish species, including trout, bass, crappie, sunfish, bluegill, carp, and more, can be caught using these patterns. Midge and emerger fly patterns, on the other hand, are designed to imitate the small subsurface and emerging insects in rivers and lakes. These patterns, often very tiny in size, are usually representative of an early stage of life for flies that lay eggs in the water, and can be fished on their own or by tying them off the hook of a dry fly pattern.

One effective technique is the dry-dropper method, where a midge is tied 12-24 inches below the dry fly, and sometimes even another midge off the bottom of the first one. Adding a little split shot in between the different patterns can help ensure they are fished at different depths. To match the hatch, anglers should inspect the insects in the water and choose a pattern that most closely resembles them. Emergers are generally fished like a dry fly, on the surface or water film, either on top of or slightly below the surface.
