Euro Jig Pink Squirrel

The "Jiggy" style nymph has been used for years on the european competition circuit.  Tied on on a tungsten bead jig, this "hook up" approach to nymphing allow you to get to the bottom without all the snags.  Commonly used as part of a tighlining rig used in tandem with our Czech nymph patterns.  RiverBum is bringing these top performing flies to the US.

The Euro Jig Pink Squirrel Nymph was designed by John Bethke and is probably one of the most popular trout nymph patterns today in the Driftless Area of Wisconsin. This is one of the most effective spring creek, clear water patterns out there.  I have lost track of how many times anglers have told me that they were getting skunked on a stretch of trout water, until they pulled out one of these bad boys.
