Tungsten Baetis Nymph

The Tungsten Baetis Nymph imitates the nymphs of Baetis mayflies, the blue-winged olives that hatch through much of the year. The tungsten bead gets the fly down quickly to the feeding zone, while the slim, segmented body and fibre tail give a natural profile for a drift along the bottom. At the end of the drift the fly can be allowed to lift, as an emerging nymph rises toward the surface.
