Description
The Red Copper John is a proven variation of the popular Copper John trout nymph. Its slim, weighted profile and distinctive red-copper appearance provide an attractive presentation for trout feeding below the surface.
This mixed dozen gives you five different hook sizes, from #10 through #18. The larger sizes are useful when fishing deeper water or when trout are feeding on larger nymphs, while the smaller sizes give you options for more selective fish and lower, clearer water.
Instead of purchasing individual sizes, this assortment gives you a convenient way to stock your fly box with a range of Red Copper Johns.

How to Fish It
Fish the Red Copper John near the bottom, where trout commonly feed on drifting aquatic insects. It works well under an indicator or as part of a multi-fly nymph rig.
Adjust your depth and weight to keep the fly in the feeding zone. Try larger sizes in deeper or faster water and smaller sizes when trout become selective.
Capt. Ken’s Guide Tips
The Copper John is a great searching nymph when you need a fly that gets down and offers a little extra attraction. I like carrying several sizes because matching the fly size to the conditions can make a difference, especially when trout are feeding selectively.
Use it as a point fly on a two-nymph rig when you need extra weight, or fish it by itself under an indicator.
