Mr. Rapidan Emerger & Bead Head Nymph Fly Tying Kit

Exclusively Available at Murray’s Fly Shop

Bring your fly tying skills to the next level with a kit designed to catch trout on any river. Crafted specifically for the intermediate fly tier, the Mr. Rapidan Emerger and Bead Head Nymph Fly Tying Kit puts premium, hand-selected materials right at your fingertips.

Developed by legendary fly fisherman Harry Murray, the Mr. Rapidan series is renowned worldwide for its unmatched ability to match mayfly hatches and fool wary trout. This exclusive kit gives you everything you need to tie two of the most effective sub-surface patterns ever created: the Mr. Rapidan Emerger and the Mr. Rapidan Bead Head Nymph.

Whether you are matching the hatch during a spring blowout or nymphing deep pools in the dead of winter, fishing with flies you tied yourself brings an unrivaled satisfaction to the sport.

What’s Included in the Kit:

  • Premium Fly Tying Materials: High-quality dubbing, hackle, beads, and ribbing chosen specifically to replicate Harry Murray’s exact formulas.

  • Hooks for 25+ Flies: Includes enough durable, razor-sharp trout hooks to tie at least 25 flies across both patterns.

  • Professional Reference Flies: Includes pre-tied sample flies of both the Emerger and Bead Head Nymph so you can visualize the exact profile, proportions, and spacing as you tie.

  • Step-by-Step Instruction Sheet: A clear, easy-to-follow guide to walk you through the tying sequence for professional results.

Note: Fly tying vise, thread, and basic tools are not included.

Why Tie the Mr. Rapidan Sub-Surface Patterns?

The Mr. Rapidan Emerger is deadly when trout are feeding just beneath the surface film, mimicking a struggling mayfly nymph attempting to break through. When fish are holding lower in the water column, the Mr. Rapidan Bead Head Nymph uses its metallic bead to dive fast into the strike zone, triggering aggressive takes from bottom-feeding trout.
