Galloup’s Nancy P – Olive
The Nancy P is quickly becoming a popular attractor pattern. Developed as a crayfish pattern, it seems to fish just as well as a general attractor– Even places where there are no crayfish residing.

Fish her with moderate twitches, pausing the fly to let the legs dance, but she works great with long pulls and swings too. Fly is approximately 4.25″ long.

This fly has been a game-changer in my trout fishing. I’ve used it in both still waters and streams, and it consistently draws fish. The movement is realistic and the legs dance well when paused. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable attractor.

Fished it in a slow-moving creek and caught several fish. The way it moves in the water is impressive. Works well with both short twitches and long swings. A bit more expensive than other patterns, but worth it.

Used the Nancy P in a lake with no crayfish presence and still got bites. The profile and movement are unique and stand out. I’ve used it in multiple seasons and it’s proven reliable.
