Category 3 Hoover Nymph – Gold Tungsten Bead

Category 3 Flies Hoover Nymph

High quality pre-tied Trout flies from Category 3 Fly Co.

I don’t know where I would be without this fly, it is my go-to pattern. It has caught fish for me all over the world in places I have been fortunate enough to fish. This is its black tungsten bead variation. On its first outing I was guiding a young Australian named Brett Haig. The fishing happened to be sensational and he asked me the name of the fly and at that time it was yet to be named. He said, “let’s call it a hoover, as it sucks up every fish in the stream.” I am still fishing with Brett, but the word ‘young’ no longer applies!

Tied on a Tiemco TMC2457 super strong curved nymph hook with a wide gape. Curved wide gape hooks give you a better hook set. The Hoover Nymph is weighted with Gold tungsten bead.

Choose from sizes 14 and 16.
