Super buoyant dry fly for fishing with a weighted nymph. A very quick tie with just two materials, the JOPY is a great fly for fishing a jig duo rig on rivers and lakes. The JOPY will suspend a weighted nymph with a 3mm tungsten bead all day. Tying the nymph to the eye of the JOPY allows the depth of the nymph to be quickly changed by switching the length of the tippet link.

I like rubber legs on dry flies. Their suggestion of something edible is the fish equivalent of ringing a dinner gong.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher was updated to a new publishing system early March 2025, and there may still be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
