The Burlap Nymph was shown to me 20+ years ago in Washington State as a large Stonefly nymph, it did well. Back on the East coast it went untied for many years,until a half dozen years ago when I began using the same principles but tying it as a smaller bead-head. It worked out well in the East Coast also. Its a naturally buggy, simple pattern that works on both trout and panfish.

Excellent, Ralph. Very buggy material. Simple is usually the best.

Great pattern. If you don’t have a square of burlap, balls of jute cord are readily available. Picking apart the fibers then retwisting with a few strands of Krystal Flash can add a little pizzazz to the pattern.

Love this fly.

I’m tying some. I know I have a small piece of burlap or ball of jute around here…
