⚫ EJ’s Black Ember Nymph

The EJ’s Black Ember Nymph is a subtle but deadly pattern crafted for anglers who know the power of simplicity. Its slim, dark profile imitates a wide range of aquatic insects, making it an ideal choice when fish are feeding cautiously or the water is crystal clear. The soft black tail and natural, dark-toned body create a realistic silhouette underwater, while the tight thorax adds just enough texture to suggest a vulnerable emerging nymph.

Designed to drift naturally through currents, the Black Ember Nymph excels in both moving and still water. Its understated coloration sparks interest without alarming wary trout, making it especially effective during late-season hatches, winter fishing, and pressured waters.

Hand-tied with precision, this pattern is a dependable go-to when conditions demand finesse over flash.
