Fly Description
The CK Nymph (short for the Chuck Kraft Nymph) is a highly versatile, multi-species prospecting fly designed in 1961 by legendary Virginia fly tier and guide Chuck Kraft. Known for its simple, inherently "buggy" look, it effectively mimics both caddis pupae and stonefly nymphs. It is widely celebrated across rivers for catching everything from trout and steelhead to panfish, crappie, and bass.
