Root Canal – Beadhead
Another fly to add to a Czech/euro nymphing collection. The addition of beadheads forever changed the way we nymph for trout. Since then hundreds of thousands of flies have been generated with the sole process of attracting trout.
The newest craze (probably one of the biggest changes since beadheads) UV and fluorescents in threads, dubbing, and other materials. They have only increased the visibility of a fly underwater.
Lots of fishermen have adopted this pattern to Czech and Euro nymphing, making this pattern a great candidate for that type of fishing.

This fly performs well in clear water conditions. The beadhead adds good lift and the UV thread makes it stand out to trout. I’ve used it in both Czech and Euro nymphing and caught several fish on it.

Great addition to my nymphing setup. The visibility is noticeable underwater, especially in low light. Works well in moderate currents and has a natural action when fished.

I’ve fished this pattern in several streams and it consistently draws trout. The fluorescent dubbing helps it stand out in the water column, and the beadhead keeps it floating just right.
