Teeny Nymph

Teeny Nymphs are simple shrimp-like flies that are constructed entirely of cock Ring Neck Pheasant tail fibers. A bundle of fibers is wrapped around the shank of the hook for the body and the tips are pulled down for legs. These feather fibers may be natural or in one of Jim's custom dyed colors. The flies are tied on short shank, heavy wire, wide gap hooks that Jim designed himself. These hooks are instrumental in giving Teeny Nymphs their unique appearance and are very strong and Laser sharp. Jim Teeny and his famous Teeny Nymph hold numerous world records in both fresh and salt water. The potency of a Teeny Nymph fished dead drift with a fast sinking line or split shot for anadromous fish is legendary in the Pacific Northwest. The smaller sizes in earth tone colors are also extremely productive for trout and pan fish in lakes. They can be fished at many depths but seem most productive when retrieved slowly. This can be accompanied with short twitches.
