Veevus Body Quill Jig Nymph – Fly Tying Video

Tying the Veevus Body Quill Jig Nymph

I first saw flies of this type in the book Fly Fishing and Fly Tying II – a book featuring flies and fishing techniques from the Czech Republic. When Hareline Dubbin recently began stocking body quills from Veevus, I was finally able to tie these flies. The use of different colored threads under the body quills creates myriad options and color combinations. In another video I will demonstrate the use of multiple colors of body quills to add a hot spot to the nymph.
