Pheasant Tail Nymph
A year-round staple, mimicking various mayfly nymphs that are active in the spring and readily consumed by panfish.

Spring is a prime time for crappie and other panfish to spawn around structure, making jig flies highly effective.
Buy at AmazonDamsel Nymph (Olive)
Damsel nymphs become active in late spring, migrating towards shore to hatch, making this olive pattern effective when stripped slowly along weed beds.
Hare's Ear Nymph
An essential nymph pattern that imitates general aquatic insects, effective year-round for panfish species.
Buy at AmazonSan Juan Worm
A consistent attractor, particularly effective after any rainfall or flow fluctuations that wash aquatic worms into the system.
