A Deadly Mayfly Nymph Imitation Designed to Get Down Deep
A deadly mayfly nymph imitation designed to get down deep.
Chris Dore on the Two Bit Hooker Brown
Tied on heavy wire, Daichi Japanese steel, the Two Bit Hooker is designed to hold those big old browns on strong tippet without letting you down. With a very slim profile and epoxied body the TBH will slip through the water column with ease, getting you deeper, faster and with two smaller tungsten beads to eliminate bulk and yet maintain weight, you can fish a pair of smaller flies confidently at depth.

Fished in deep pools during a brown trout season and caught several fish with the Two Bit Hooker Brown. The fly slipped through the water smoothly and held well on strong tippet. Great for targeting deep water.
Andrea Marshall –
The slim profile makes it easy to cast and it stays in place when the current is strong. I’ve used it in both still and moving water and it performs consistently.
Keith Lee –
The tungsten beads keep it weighted without adding bulk. It’s a reliable nymph that gets down quickly and stays on the bottom where browns are active.
