- BWO (Baetis) insects are a favorite food source for trout, especially during their emergence. Their small size, delicate bodies, and abundance in freshwater ecosystems make them a highly effective target for fly anglers.

In this video, I'll guide you through the process of tying a realistic Catgut BWO Crippled Nymph. Catgut is an excellent material for nymph bodies, offering a natural appearance and durability that surpasses synthetic options like plastic and latex.
Let's get started!
-small hooks between size 16 and 20

What is catgut?
Cool fly Lucian. Catgut is made (usually) from the intestine of goat or sheep. Used mainly on nymphs. The look is terrific however its use has been greatly reduced by synthetic replacement. I'd recommend soaking it in water before use;, makes it pliable. Better question is where do I get some. It's becoming rare. Last I checked, it was available through Frostyfly and shipped from Canada.
@@jtahoe5672 Thanks, guess I could have googled that. I don’t think I’m going with catgut tbh. I suspect it absorbs water and takes forever to dry out. Bit like (genuine) raffia. All flies made with raffia rust, in my experience.
@@callumclark3358 You're right of course. As for me, I like to take a shot at old school methods, just, if nothing else, to say been there done that. Some years ago, Davie McPhail tied a caddis w/gut that just looked so cool (ruclips.net/video/0LaNwsEXf5A/видео.html), I had to dig some gut up and try one. I think I had to order the gut from Romania 😅 or somewhere over there... and at great cost! It did look cool and was fun but not a long term plan.
@@jtahoe5672 Yes, Davie ordered it from Troutline, which is the shop I run :). By the way, the catgut absorbs water but does not disintegrate, and it is super durable. It also dries quickly. You can also check out some nice flies tied with catgut by Barry Ord Clark.. Catgut is sold in the US by some shops too, Cheers :)
@@callumclark3358 yes it absorbs water but not more than dubbing. And it dries faster. :)
