This fly performs well in both slow and fast currents. The thin legs and flash on the wing pad make it easy to detect when a fish takes it. I’ve used it in clear streams and it’s been effective for catching trout.

The tungsten bead gives it good sink rate. It looks natural and the barbless hook makes it easy to tie on. Works well in early morning when fish are active.

I’ve fished with this nymph in several lakes and rivers. The realism of the legs and the subtle flash trigger strikes. It’s a reliable pattern for mayfly nymphs.
