Bloody Mary Nymph

In this video, our volunteer Fabio Malaspina shows you how to tie a "Bloody Mary Nymph" fly. It is an attractor fly that doesn’t represent any insect. This is a wet fly that you can use to target steelhead, trout, carp and panfish. Fish it in conjunction with another nymph or egg pattern (steelhead) under an indicator. If using it in a Euro nymph fishing setup use a tungsten bead and add lead wire wraps on the hook shank.
Materials list:
Thread: Size 6/0 black or 140 UTC
Hook: 2X long nymph hook straight or curved. I used an Orvis 1524 size 12
Bead: Gold 5/32”
Tails: Brown or tan goose biots
Body: Red floss
Ribbing: Peacock herl and gold UltraWire size small
Collar/legs: Partridge feather natural color
Skill level: intermediate
