Catch Flies TB Swing Nymph
With TB standing for Tungsten Bead, this Catch Flies TB Swing Nymph mimics emerging nymphs that trout target in faster current or at more depth. A versatile fly that can be used in a variety of techniques, this pattern works great on the swing or trailing a dry fly to fish looking for emerging caddis. Tungsten beads behind the soft hackle collar get this fly to more depth on the swing or in current. Contrasting ribs on the body are eye-catching.

This fly performs well in moderate to fast currents. The tungsten bead gives it good depth and the contrasting ribs make it stand out in the water. I’ve used it on swings and under dry flies with good results.
Alison Powell –
A solid choice for nymph fishing. It sinks properly and looks natural when swung. Works well in deeper water where trout are feeding on emerging caddis.
Elizabeth Underwood –
Great for targeting trout in current. The weight from the tungsten bead keeps it stable, and the design mimics real nymphs well. Easy to tie and effective in the field.
