How to tie the Jigged RS3
This fly will change your euro nymphing game. When in doubt on fly selection, fish this fly. I have yet to tie it on and not catch fish, and others are starting to say the same. This is a very versatile pattern that can be used in nearly every fishing situation you come across. You can tight line it on the euro rod, fish it off a tag under an indicator, or fish it as a dropper under a dry.
There are endless color combinations and options for making this fly a staple in your box. Changing thread & bead color will dictate what the fly imitates. It’s also worth mixing up the flashback & dubbing to add a different color hot spot. Word is spreading about this fly and I couldn’t be more excited.
