Description

An added brass bead makes this all time classic fly even deadlier. The weighted bead increases the sink rate of this fly putting it right in front of the fish's face.

Field Notes

Use this beadhead nymph when fish are holding below the surface and you need the fly to get down quickly. Cast upstream or across current and let it sink, then use short, subtle twitches or a controlled drift to keep it in the strike zone.

Pros

  • Weighted brass/gold bead increases sink rate
  • Classic nymph profile puts the fly in front of fish quickly
  • Works well for subsurface feeding fish

Cons

  • Best results require letting it sink/drift rather than fast retrieves
