Borisfly Blueholo Pupa Jig

Description

This nymph pattern is an excellent choice for targeting trout and grayling. This fly mimics the pupal stage of aquatic insects, such as mayflies or caddisflies, which many fish feed on during hatch periods. Its light purple coloration makes it highly visible in various water conditions, especially in clearer waters or during overcast days. The pattern is typically tied with a soft, buoyant body to imitate the delicate pupal form. The bead head components help it sink and reach the feeding zone. Anglers use this pattern with a slow, natural drift, often beneath a strike indicator or on a tight line, to entice strikes from both trout and grayling. Its versatility and realistic appearance make it a very effective fly for fly fishing in streams and rivers.
