Product Description
Learn to tie our 7 ;Perfect Mayfly nymph patterns. By varying the size and color of materials according to our recipes on the CD (included with the instructional DVD) you will be able to tie over 80 highly effective specific imitations of all the important mayfly nymphs that trout feed on from coast to coast. These are the seven (7) basic patterns: 1. Perfect Swimmer Nymph 2. Perfect Super Swimmer Nymph 3. Perfect Crawler Nymph 4. Perfect Super Crawler Nymph 5. Perfect Burrower Nymph 6. Perfect Clinger Nymph 7. Perfect Emerging Nymph There are basically four types of mayfly nymphs-swimmers, burrowers, crawlers and clingers. Most clinger mayfly nymphs look about as much alike a burrower mayfly nymph as an elk looks like an antelope. The slim, streamlined swimming nymphs don't resemble the crawlers very much either. Generally speaking, this fact alone requires at least four basic types of mayfly nymph patterns. Some of the nymphs within the same category are quite different. While it is true that many mayfly nymph species can be imitated well by just varying the size and color of the same pattern, others require features with different shapes and forms. Our nymph and emerging imitations vary from our nymph that is intended to be fished from on or near the bottom to the surface; to the emerging nymph, which has unfolding wings and the front part of its body partially out of the shuck. We do not think that trout can count but we do think that the size, shape and form of a fly is a factor in whether or not trout take your imitation for the real thing. Mayfly nymphs have six legs, not twenty or thirty like many standard imitations. The legs extend out along the sides of the nymph. They do not have several legs on each side extending out of the same spot. Mayfly nymphs have three, or sometimes two, tails; not six or a dozen like many imitations. Although gills are present in certain areas, the abdominal section of most mayfly nymphs is basically smooth and segmented, not solid or furyThis tying mayfly nymphs DVD shows you how to tie each of the following (7) seven mayfly nymph patterns. These patterns (tied using various hook sizes and colors prescribed in our recipes on the CD) will imitate species of mayfly nymph that trout feed on. Once you learn to tie these seven basic patterns, you will never need to tie another mayfly nymph pattern. The flies shown below do not imitate any particular species of mayflies. The colors of materials should match those in the recipes provided with the DVD depending on the particular species of mayfly you desire to imitate. Patterns: The mayfly patterns including in this program are selected to imitate the 43 (forty-three) categories of mayflies that are included in our Imitating Aquatic Insects - Mayflies program. We attempted to keep the number of different patterns and recipes as low as possible. The result was forty-three categories. These categories closely represent over one hundred species taken from the genera of all the important families of mayflies. In each of the 43 categories, there are usually 4(four) and may be as many as 6 (six) different patterns specifically selected to cover the various stages of the mayfly specie or species covered in that category. We believe that there is enough difference in the naturals in each of the categories to justify tying and fishing specific imitations that represent them. Keep in mind, this covers the entire United States and you may only be concerned with the mayflies that are prevalent in the area you fish. You can further eliminate the ones needed even more by obtaining the Choosing the Right Fly program for the area you fish. This way, you may only want to be concerned with tying the flies you need for the streams you fish.
