Claret Nymph #10 x 1 Dozen

The Claret Nymph is a traditional trout fly pattern known for its deep reddish‑purple (claret) coloration, which imitates a range of aquatic insects—especially mayfly and stonefly nymphs, as well as general-purpose food items drifting in the water.

The claret color imitates the natural tones of many nymphs found in lakes and rivers.

Works well in low light or tannin‑stained waters, where the rich color remains visible to fish.

It’s a versatile searching pattern, effective when trout are feeding subsurface but not keyed in on a specific insect.

Fish it under an indicator, on a long leader, or as part of a two‑fly rig.

Retrieve with slow, gentle lifts to mimic the natural rise of an emerging insect.

Effective in stillwaters, rivers, and streams—especially during mayfly periods.
