Latex n Copper nymph

Latex n Copper nymph is a pattern created few years back, a variation of Copper John nymph, adding in some latex to create segment on the abdomen… it’s also my favorite nymph pattern for fishing our Golden Mahseer ( Pelian ) in Borneo.

It’s a super heavy pattern that will dive straight down in fast current.. most ideal for fishes hiding at deep. This pattern is also tie in many colours for different species of fishes that react to different colours… and our fishes love colourful nymph.
