Bead Head Mayfly Nymph

Description

The Bead Head Mayfly Nymph is a popular fly pattern used primarily in freshwater fly fishing. It mimics the appearance of a nymph or young insect, making it effective for catching various species of trout and other freshwater fish. This fly is typically used when fishing in streams, rivers, and lakes, especially during the spring and summer months when fish are actively feeding on nymphs. It is usually fished below a strike indicator or on a dropper rig, using a slow and natural drift to imitate real insect behavior. You can chose the Czech Nymphing style, with short nymphing technique.
