BITCH CREEK FLY PATTERNS. Hook size 10 - $US each
The flyfishing fly called the Black & Green Bitch Creek is a good attractor nymph normally fished weighted on or near the river bed. It is a variation on the classic Montana stonefly nymph although I find the resemblance to the natural stonefly nymph hard to see. On the larger hooks it looks a bit like a cased caddis. It is the legs that make this fly fishing pattern a killer. When they move in the water it sends out a signal to nearby trout that it is a live and good to eat. This is why I have called it an attractor nymph.
I have caught brown trout, rainbow and carp. I even once caught an Atlantic Salmon on a Bitch Creek. I think the legs waving about in front of its nose must have annoyed it so much that it took a bite. There is a remote stream that flows through Idaho and Wyoming in America called the Bitch Creek. My guess is that this is where it got its name from. If you know different please e-mail me with information about who designed this Montana variation.
