Euro NymphsThe Iron Lotus

The Iron Lotus is a sleek Euro nymph designed for fast water and deep runs. It features a slim, tapered body tied with natural or dyed pheasant tail fibers, often with a small hot spot at the collar made from fluorescent thread or dubbing. A tungsten bead gives it the necessary weight to get down quickly. The pattern's simplicity and profile make it ideal for tight-line nymphing. It's usually tied on a jig hook to ride hook-point-up and avoid snags, with a slim profile that helps it sink fast and stay in the strike zone longer.
