COPPER JOHN B.H.
$1.89
Copper John Bead Head features a wire-wrapped body, bead head, and peacock thorax. A fast-sinking, durable attractor nymph effective for trout in all waters.
Description
The Copper John Bead Head (B.H.) is one of the most iconic and effective modern nymph patterns, designed to get down quickly and stay in the strike zone. Its slim, wire-wrapped body provides both weight and durability, while the bead head ensures an even faster sink rate—making it an ideal fly for deep runs and fast-moving currents where trout feed heavily.
The fly’s copper body imitates a wide range of aquatic insects, especially mayfly nymphs, but its flash and profile also make it a strong attractor pattern when no specific hatch is present. The peacock thorax and split biot tail add lifelike detail, while the ribbed body creates natural segmentation. This combination of realism and attraction makes the Copper John equally effective in freestones, tailwaters, and stillwaters.
It can be fished as a single nymph, as part of a Euro-nymphing rig, or paired with a smaller dropper fly beneath a dry. Known for its ability to entice both opportunistic and selective trout, the Copper John B.H. is a must-have nymph for anglers targeting fish in diverse conditions.
