Overview

The Umpqua Copper John Barr's Tungsten Bead Fly in Copper is a high-performance nymph designed for anglers who need to get their flies down quickly in fast or deep water. This variation of John Barr's iconic pattern incorporates a tungsten bead, which adds significant weight, allowing the fly to sink rapidly and reach the feeding zones of trout holding in deeper runs or swift currents. The copper wire body not only provides durability but also emits a subtle flash that mimics the exoskeleton of various aquatic insects, making it an effective imitation of mayfly nymphs and other subsurface prey.​

Constructed with a biot tail, peacock herl thorax, and a resin-coated wing case, this fly offers a realistic profile and movement in the water. The addition of partridge legs enhances its lifelike appearance, enticing even the most selective trout. Whether you're employing a Euro nymphing technique, a traditional indicator setup, or a dry-dropper rig, the Tungsten Bead Copper John in Copper is a versatile and reliable choice that consistently produces results across various fishing conditions.Read More +
