SKU:NYM-HE-101-NAT-S12-6P
Key Features
- IRRESISTIBLY BUGGY PROFILE: Natural squirrel dubbing creates a spiky, life-like silhouette and traps air bubbles, perfectly imitating a wide range of aquatic nymphs that trout, grayling, and char can't resist.
- GETS DOWN FAST: The heavy-duty gold bead head cuts through the water column to reach the strike zone quickly, making it a perfect anchor fly for Euro nymphing rigs or for fishing deep, fast runs.
- POWERFUL STRIKE TRIGGER: A subtle collar of bright orange thread behind the bead acts as a powerful "hot spot," provoking aggressive strikes from curious or otherwise hesitant fish.
- PROVEN "GUIDE FLY" VERSATILITY: A true all-rounder that effectively mimics everything from caddis larvae to mayfly nymphs. It's the confidence fly many guides use to find fish on unfamiliar waters.
- DURABLE & RELIABLE: Expertly tied on premium, sharp, barbless hooks to ensure solid hooksets and built to withstand the abuse of catching multiple fish.

- Description
Meet the fly that belongs in every angler's box, from the seasoned pro to the weekend adventurer. The Gold Bead Squirrel Hair Nymph isn't designed to imitate one specific insect; it's designed to imitate all of them. This is your ultimate search-and-destroy weapon when the hatch is a mystery.
Why It Works
The magic lies in its construction. The body, made from spiky squirrel hair dubbing, "breathes" in the water, creating a buggy, pulsating silhouette that screams "food!" to nearby fish. The heavy gold bead gets it into the feeding lane fast and adds a subtle flash, while the bright orange hot spot closes the deal, triggering instinctive, aggressive takes.
Your Go-To Fly For:
- Exploring New Rivers: The perfect first choice to prospect unfamiliar water.
- Between Hatches: When there's no visible insect activity, this fly finds fish.
- High & Murky Water: The combination of flash, profile, and color helps it stand out.
- Euro & Indicator Nymphing: An ideal, heavy point fly to anchor your rig.
