The Space X Nymph is a fairly new, but hugely successful fly pattern designed by Devin Olsen. Heres a man that really doesnt need an introduction, and if youve not heard of him, you might need to pay more attention to whats been going on in modern fly fishing techniques. Or just look at the results of Team USA in international fly fishing competition. In Devins words, A tag nymph variation that has become part of this core working group is the Space X Nymph. It is built on the classic black, pink, and silver combination which is found on a lot of European patterns. The combination cuts a nice silhouette in dark lighting or stained water but it has also worked well in clear water and low flows over this past winter.

This is Grants version of the Space X Nymph, which has the same good mix of buggy features and that bright pink tag that help getting fish to eat it, just like the original. I had a few of these in my first sample batch of flies from Grant, and it outperformed most other flies on the days I did fish it. Until I lost them all in the trees, or on snags. It makes sense to get yourself six or twelve, so you wont be left wanting more when you lose them.
