A Bold Trigger for Selective Trout
The Bead Head Basic Nymph in Red is a simple but highly effective attractor pattern that trout just can’t seem to ignore. The vibrant red body imitates midge larvae or bloodworms—a staple food source in many Eastern Sierra stillwaters and spring creeks. Paired with a subtle bead head for quick sink and natural drift, this fly is perfect for days when trout want a little flash without the fuss.
Whether you're fishing it deep under an indicator or as a dropper in a two-fly setup, the red version stands out just enough to grab attention—especially in cold or off-color water when natural food sources are harder to spot.
