What Makes the USO Nymph Special?

The USO (Unidentified Sinking Object) lives up to its name as the perfect searching attractor pattern, mimicking several insects thanks to its innovative design. Here's what sets it apart:

1. Breath of Life:
   The flowing soft hackle fibers and lively rubber legs bring the USO Nymph to life. These materials mimic the subtle movements of an insect drifting naturally in the current, enticing fish to feed.
2. Lifelike Durability:
   The body, crafted from a wild barred turkey biot and reinforced with fly tying wire, offers both a realistic segmented appearance and the strength to endure multiple fish. This durability ensures your fly stays in the action longer, maximizing your chances of success.
3. Depth Control:
   The USO Nymph's weight is customizable with a tungsten bead or optional lead-free wire wraps. Adjust the bead size to control the fly's depth, whether you're targeting fish in shallow riffles or deep feeding zones. Its versatility makes it an excellent Euro-style anchor fly.
4. Hook-Point Up Design:
   Tied on a barbless jig hook, this pattern rides hook-point up. This reduces snags, increases hookups, and helps secure the fly in the fish's jaw for better control during the fight.
