Field Notes

Use this nymph pattern when trout are feeding subsurface on mayfly nymphs, especially near the bottom before a hatch. The brass bead helps it sink quickly, making it a good choice for dead-drift presentations in riffles, runs, and deeper seams.

Pros

  • Realistic mayfly nymph profile
  • Brass bead helps it get down quickly
  • Good bottom-hugging drift presentation

Cons

  • Not a good choice when fish are keyed on surface insects
  • Small fly can be hard to see and manage in fast water
