The "Bread and Butter" of any trout anglers fly box.
If you aren't sure what the fish are eating, tie this on. Baetis (Blue Winged Olive) nymphs are present in almost every trout stream in the world and are active year-round, making them a primary food source. This classic bead head pattern mimics the slim profile of the natural nymph perfectly, offering a realistic silhouette that works from the dead of winter through the heat of summer.
Why we love it:
The Silhouette: The slim, segmented body matches the delicate taper of a natural Baetis nymph, which is critical for fooling selective fish.
The Flash: The gold bead head gets the fly down into the feeding lane and provides a subtle flash that grabs a trout's attention in the drift.
Durability: The wire ribbing not only adds segmentation but protects the body materials from sharp trout teeth.
Quantity: Sold in packs of 12.
Guide Tip: Because Baetis nymphs are small, this is the ultimate "Dropper" fly. Tie it 12-18 inches behind a larger attractor nymph (like a Stonefly or San Juan Worm). The big fly gets their attention, but this little Baetis is usually what they actually eat. Also, don't be afraid to put it as a "Dropper" under your favorite foam pattern!
