Marabou Hex

Hex Nymphs have always been a go-to nymph for Salmon, Trout and Steelhead but they can be complex and a pain to tie. I have always been fond of simple, smaller more compact hex type patterns that are a breeze to tie. These types of pattern fill my Hex box and I don't mind loosing them to the many snags in the rivers I fish. This simple pattern is made up of only two materials, Barred Marabou and Hen Saddle making it a snap to tie. The dubbed marabou body makes this pattern comes alive and breath in the water and has become my go-to hex nymph.
