Nugget Nemo

[Rob Edmunds]

Tied up a few weighted "Nemo" variants this afternoon for early season when you need to fish that bit deeper......well 15ft down

Nice and heavy, nice big profile to stand out at depth, plenty of colour too. A nymph that works like a lure for those traditionalists.


Hook: Size 10 Fulling Mill Comp Heavyweight Black Nickle
Tail/Hackle : Greenwells Hen
Body: pheasant tail
Rib : fine red holo tinsel
Thorax: Lureflash Mosaic Straggle
Head : 2.5 Fluro Red Tungsten bead
Thread: UTC 140 black.

I’m going to try tying some of these, but will need to get some beads. Would 2.5mm fit B175 size 10?

I wasn’t sure whether or not the Fulling Mill hook was barbless, and I’d need a larger bead to get over the barb on a B175.

A 2.5m bead will go over a size 10 B175 or equivalent hook if you get your thumb nails behind it and push....." persuade it" a little.

It does flatten the barb a bit but it's fine..

Brute force is fine

Thanks, I’ve just ordered some and will give it a go
