Murray’s Trout Nymph Fly Assortment (12 Flies with Box)
Unlock the secrets of Virginia’s premier trout streams with a guide-tested nymph collection.
When trout aren't rising to the surface, they are feeding heavily underneath. To consistently catch fish from early spring through early summer, you need sub-surface patterns that accurately mimic local hatches. Murray’s Trout Nymph Fly Assortment brings together 12 of the most productive, time-tested nymph patterns specifically selected for Virginia trout streams.
Hand-picked by the experts at Murray’s Fly Shop, this premium fly selection replicates the exact aquatic insects, stoneflies, and mayfly nymphs that wild and stocked trout target during the peak of the season. Whether you are high-sticking a tumbling mountain freestone stream or nymphing deep pools on larger stocked waters, this assortment gives you the perfect match for the hatch.
Ready for the Water: Labeled & Boxed
No more guessing what is in your fly box. This collection comes neatly arranged in a durable 12-compartment fly box with each fly clearly labeled. It’s the ultimate grab-and-go solution for beginner anglers building their first box, or a perfect mid-season refill for seasoned fly tiers and guides.
