Description

Sow Bug Rainbow Biot was developed on the tailwaters of the West by Utah fly fishing guide, Jake Ricks. Fish in many tailwaters make sowbugs the staple of their diet and this pattern seems to fool them nearly every time. The mix of translucence and various colors is virtually irresistible. Jake tells us that he once caught the same fish twice in about 10 minutes on this fly on the famous Lower Provo River tailwater. Sounds pretty irresistible to us!

Field Notes

This is a sowbug imitation for tailwater trout that feed heavily on aquatic crustaceans. Fish it dead-drifted near the bottom under an indicator or as part of a nymph rig in slow, clear tailwater runs and seams.

Pros

  • Highly effective tailwater food imitation
  • Translucent profile can look very natural
  • Good choice when trout are keyed on sowbugs

Cons

  • Specialized pattern with limited use outside sowbug waters
  • Small fly can be harder to see and manage
