Stock your fly box with a full dozen Copper John Soft Hackle nymphs in a range of popular sizes. This mixed selection makes it easy to fill a row in your nymph box and have the right size available for changing water conditions and trout feeding activity.

Description

The Copper John is a proven weighted trout nymph that has earned its place in fly boxes everywhere. Its slim, flashy profile makes it an excellent searching pattern, while the soft hackle adds movement and another lifelike element to the fly.

This selection brings together Copper John Soft Hackle patterns in sizes #10 through #18. Instead of purchasing each size separately, you get a convenient mixed dozen that gives you a variety of options in one package.

Whether you're fishing deeper runs, riffles or pocket water, these flies are useful additions to your nymph selection.

Why Fish the Copper John Soft Hackle?

  • Proven Trout Pattern: The Copper John is a dependable weighted nymph for a variety of trout fishing situations.

  • Soft Hackle Movement: Adds movement and life to the fly during the drift.

  • Copper Profile: Provides a slim, attractive presentation.

  • Multiple Hook Sizes: Lets you adjust your fly size to match conditions and trout activity.

  • Convenient Mixed Dozen: Get a range of sizes in one selection.

How to Fish It

Fish the Copper John Soft Hackle near the bottom, where trout commonly feed on drifting nymphs. It works well under an indicator or as part of a multi-fly nymph rig.

Allow the fly to drift naturally through runs, riffles and deeper pools. The soft hackle adds movement as the fly travels through the current, and a slight lift at the end of the drift can provide another trigger for a strike.

Capt. Ken’s Guide Tips

A Copper John is a great searching nymph when you need a weighted pattern that gets down and attracts attention. I like having several sizes available so I can adjust to the depth of the water and the size of the natural food.

Don't overlook the soft hackle. Its movement can make the fly look alive, especially when the current works through the fibers during the drift.
