The Lightning Bug is very visible in the water, especially in shaded streams. My trout caught it in a deep pool where other nymphs didn’t work. The glow effect is subtle but effective.

Used it in a riffle area and saw a few trout take the flash. The tungsten bead keeps it stable and doesn’t sink too fast. Good for early morning fishing.

This is the first nymph I’ve tried that actually worked in a dark pool. The mylar body shines even in murky water and drew in fish I hadn’t seen before.
