Field Notes

A beadhead nymph for trout or grayling when fish are feeding below the surface on mayfly nymphs. Fish it dead-drift under an indicator or as part of a nymph rig in riffles, runs, and pocket water. The brass bead helps it get down quickly in faster current.

Pros

  • Beadhead helps it sink quickly
  • Effective imitation of olive nymphs
  • Good match for trout and grayling feeding subsurface

Cons

  • Small size can be hard to see and handle
  • Best when fish are keyed on nymphs
