Field Notes

This is a bead-head Baetis nymph pattern for trout fishing, especially during olive mayfly hatches. Fish it dead-drift under an indicator or as part of a nymph rig in slower seams, runs, and pocket water where trout are feeding subsurface.

Pros

  • Bead head helps it get down quickly
  • Natural olive mayfly profile
  • Barbless hook is easier to release fish

Cons

  • Small fly can be hard to see and cast
  • Best results depend on matching a hatch
