Brandon Walsh –
Used the Copper John (BH) in a deep pool during a cold spring trip. It sank quickly and stayed on the bottom without flipping. Fish took it consistently, especially in the deeper sections where other nymphs didn’t work.
Carol Dowd –
Good for reaching deeper water. The flash stands out in the current, and I noticed more strikes after switching to this pattern. A bit heavy for shallow runs, but perfect for deeper holds.
Ruth Hamilton –
Fished it in a slow-moving river with cover. The wire body kept it stable and it stayed in place. Caught several trout on the first cast. Would recommend for deep nymphing.
