Quill Hotspot Nymph - Jig Nymph - Fly Tying with John Murphy
The Quill Hotspot Nymph.
A fantastic year round nymph pattern to target both trout and grayling. You can add your own spin to this pattern too with different coloured hotspots or different quill bodies. This pattern is great used as either a point fly or dropper on a euro nymph leader, or fished as part of a dry dropper rig (Klink and dink)
I also tie this pattern on a traditional wet fly hook with normal copper beads making it a lighter nymph.
I hope you enjoy watching, and you’ll get a few tied up in your box. As ever please let me know how they work out for you.
Tight lines.

Pepping Caddis Nymph - Jig Nymph - Fly Tying with John Murphy
มุมมอง 297หลายเดือนก่อน
The Peeping Caddis is a nymph pattern that has been around for some time now, and with good reason. This is an extremely effective pattern that can be used to target both trout and grayling. This is a pattern that I’ve been using for a number of years now. It’s changed slightly from the original over time, with the removal of the partridge hackle to be replaced with natural CDC. I also original...
Infected Shrimp (Hotspot Shrimp) - Czech Nymph - Fly Tying with John Murphy
มุมมอง 352หลายเดือนก่อน
So it’s been a while since I last uploaded a fly tying tutorial. However, I’m back, and will be uploading videos on a weekly basis. I thought I would start things with a pattern I’ve been using for a number of years now, and has accounted for a number of Grayling so far this season for myself. This pattern is tied to represent an infected fresh water shrimp. The shrimp become infected with a pa...
Montana Pheasant Tail Nymph - Stillwater and Reservoir Nymphs - Fly Tying with John Murphy
มุมมอง 420ปีที่แล้ว
Here we have a great pattern to be used on Stillwater and Reservoirs. Black and Green has always been a fantastic colour combination to use, and many great patterns over the years have been tied around this. The Montana Nymph is one of those, so this Pheasant Tail Nymph has been loosely based on that pattern. A great nymph to be fished as part of a washing line, or straight lined. I hope you en...

Foam Post Duo Klinkhammer - Dry Flies - Fly Tying with John Murphy
มุมมอง 2.8Kปีที่แล้ว
My take on a Klinkhammer pattern developed more for to use in the Duo method. With a hi-viz foam post, sighting the fly on the river is made much more easy. It also helps aid the fly in floating when fishing faster sections of the river. Finally a mono tag is tied at the rear of the fly to easily attach a length of tippet to fish a nymph bellow. I tie these in a range of colours including; blac...

Euro Jig Streamer - Streamer and Lure - Fly Tying with John Murphy
มุมมอง 482ปีที่แล้ว
My take on a Euro Jig Streamer. This pattern has all the keys components to make it super effective when out on the water. This can also be tied on a size 10 or 8 and used for Stillwater and Reservoir fishing. When used as a Euro Jig Streamer you can drop it into likely looking drifts and holes to tempt any resident trout. Takes can be savage and they are a great pattern to carry year round, be...

We’re back! So it may have been a while since my last upload, but here we are, back behind the vice making a tutorial for a Pink Tag Frenchie. This pattern is an absolute magnet for targeting Grayling during the Autumn and Winter months. Tied in a 12 with a 4mm tungsten bead make it a great point fly, or smaller options for a dropper fly. Don’t forget to experiment with the tail options and the...
Small Stream Tributary Wild Brown Trout - Fishing With John Murphy
มุมมอง 1.3Kปีที่แล้ว
Welcome to the first of my fly fishing videos. After being inspired by a number of good friends to get this done, here it is! Filmed on my IPhone 14 Pro and DJI Mini 2. I still have plenty to learn, but I had good fun creating this. Hopefully you enjoy watching. Small stream fishing for small wild brown trout is something I find highly addictive. The ability to outwit a small wild fish doesn’t ...

A simple, yet extremely effective pattern that can be used to represent a whole range of upswing dun’s (adult fly) Tied in a range of thread colours, my personal favourites being Olive, Brown and Light Cahill.

Hi-Viz Griffiths’s Gnat - Dry Flies - Fly Tying with John Murphy
มุมมอง 1.4Kปีที่แล้ว
Here is my little spin on the famous Griffith’s Gnat Dry Fly. A must for any angler, this pattern produces fish time and time again. When fish are feeding on small Gnats they can’t resist these. The Hi-Viz post helps track the fly on the water, whist the thread rib offers a little more durability. I find having a hackle a little longer allows the fly to skate on the surface with a more natural ...
Orange Tag CDC Nymph (Hare & Squirrel) - Jig Nymph - Fly Tying With John Murphy
มุมมอง 1.1Kปีที่แล้ว
The perfect jig nymph to bring a trout or two into the net. This fairly simple patterns has all that’s needed to attract trout. A bright tag, movement from the CDC and a natural blend of dubbing with a little flash thanks to the UV blend. Personally I fish these in 14’s and 16’s the majority of the time. However a 12 with 4mm Tungsten can help in a high river. Give them a tie, get a few in your...
