Details

A go-to nymph that every fly-fishing angler should have on hand. This classic nymph imitates Hendrickson, March brown, and many many other natural mayflies in the nymph stage. The beadhead helps the nymph get down into those riffles and runs where the trout are feeding on the natural nymphs. A must for the serious or beginner nymph fisher.
