Tying the Montana Nymph involves a short or medium shank hook and a range of materials that come together to create a striking and enticing profile. The body is typically formed using chenille, in colors such as black, green, or yellow, which is wrapped around the hook shank.
The tail and wing of the Montana Nymph are crafted from several strands of black or brown hackle fibers, providing a lifelike appearance and movement. These fibers should be slightly longer than the body length to imitate the antennae and tails of various aquatic insects.
A key element of the Montana Nymph is the palmered hackle that runs along the length of the body. This is typically created using a black or brown saddle hackle, wound evenly around the body and secured with the ribbing material.
The head of the fly is formed by wrapping the tying thread, creating a small, neat head that secures all the materials in place.
The Montana Nymph is intended to imitate a variety of aquatic insects, such as stoneflies or large mayfly nymphs.
The Montana Nymph can be used in any freshwater setting. It is particularly adept at targeting trout and other fish species that feed on stoneflies and mayflies, but is used for other freshwater species as well.

You always buy from one fly tyer at a time
When you add a fly or set to your cart, you buy from the fly tyer who tied it. Add as many flies as you like from this fly tyer.
You can not add flies from multiple tyers, because else you would have to pay shipping cost for each one, making your shipping cost very high.
Estimated delivery time is shown in the shopping cart
Some sets and flies can be in stock, others might be tied to order. The item that takes the longest will determine the total time your order will take.
The estimated time your order will take is always shown in the shopping cart before you check out.
