Graffam's Hustler
Cheech 4/11/21
The Hustler is a great pattern as a general use jig style nymph that can be tied as light or as heavy as you would like. This fly originally uses offset beads to get to maximum depths (we listed the off-set beads on the recipe) but we decided to use a normal slotted bead in this video. Available now from Umpqua in both light and dark iterations, it should be in your regular rotation for fishing! See the link below to purchase these flies pre-tied.
