The first time I saw these was when they were delivered to us on Friday - it's safe to say I was impressed!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are called 'Maj' nymphs - Bosnian for May, because they are a generic nymph pattern for flies which will start to hatch out in May - they imitate virtually any sub-surface pupa and are very 'buggy'. They are used in the Bosnian rivers to attract the attention of those early season fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur Bosnian Maj Nymph Selection contains three each of these 'Bosnian Bad Boys':\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight Olive Maj Nymph\u003c\/strong\u003e - Size 14 AHREX FW541 - weight 0.37g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOlive Maj Nymph\u003c\/strong\u003e - Size 14 AHREX FW541 - weight 0.37g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRed Maj Nymph\u003c\/strong\u003e - Size 14 AHREX FW541 - weight 0.37g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYellow Maj Nymph\u003c\/strong\u003e - Size 14 AHREX FW541 - weight 0.37g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur Bosnian Maj Nymph Selection contains three of each of the above patterns - a total of 12 nymphs in the selection.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee below for more details on these Maj Nymphs:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaj Nymphs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eThese nymphs are tied on an \u003cstrong\u003eAHREX FW541\u003c\/strong\u003e barbless hook in size 14, designed for excellent hook penetration and durability.

Over the thread, is wrapped Troutline Tapered Synthetic Quills (size M) to create a realistic, segmented abdomen. Four different colour of quills have been used: Light Olive, Olive, Red \u0026amp; Yellow. These specific quills create a variation in shade and contrast, making the fly more attractive in different water conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe thorax is covered with Veevus Flat Braid in black, adding a slight sheen and additional contrast to the fly. To create a natural, lifelike appearance, the legs are made from Hare’s Mask dubbing, which gives the fly a buggy, slightly spiky profile that enhances movement in the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eTo enhance durability and add a natural 'wet look', both the body and the thorax (flat braid) are coated with Raidzap UV Resin and cured under a UV light.
