Lance Dean of Fishbait's Fly Box demonstrates the tying of the Jigged Copper John.
I am not going to sit here and tell you that I am a professional fly tier/fly fisherman or that I am on this “Pro Staff” or that “Pro Team” because at the time of this writing, I am not. Nor, am I going to tell you that I fish a hundred days out of the year; although, I wish I could. And I am most definitely not going to sit here and tell you that I have flies that are distributed by the many fly fishing manufactures in the market today; at least, not yet. What I am going to tell you is that, I am simply a man who is extremely passionate about tying flies and fishing them when I get the chance.
Please enjoy this demonstration of the Jigged Copper John. And as usual please subscribe to my channel .

As a noob, ive got a hard enough time tying these patterns, let alone tying jigged versions. I mostly steelhead fishing when im using flies so i really need to get into tying these. Especially dark patterns. For some reason this past year the only nymphs they wanted regardless of conditions were larger and black

[@LanceDean1981]

Yeah, learning this pattern can be a bit frustrating but after a dozen or so you'll get the hang of it.

[@jimholland1592]

Nice😉

[@LanceDean1981]

Thank you!

[@Gbow17]

Thanks for the explanation on the Firehole 516 vs the 5262 shank lengths. Is there a formula for that you have been able to figure out? Is it up 2 sizes for all to compensate in all situations?

[@LanceDean1981]

This doesn't work for every hook out there but I have found it is close. Its not really a formula it all depends on what you are trying to do. If you need a 3XL hook but only have standard length hooks use a standard hook that is 3 times the size you were originally looking for, but keep in mind the gap will be larger on the standard hook vs. the 3XL hook. I hope that makes sense. Anyway give it a try, see what happens and good luck.
