The classic bead bead nymphs
Wide range of catchy bead head nymphs
Bead head nymphs are an essential part of every fly box. Their brass bead gives the nymph the right amount of weight to sink naturally while still maintaining a lively movement in the current. Positioned directly behind the hook eye, the bead also imitates the head of an aquatic insect larva. The classic gold-coloured beads used for these patterns create subtle flashes and reflections depending on the light, adding extra attraction and triggering curious reactions from fish. Bead head nymphs are especially effective in rivers and streams with slow to medium currents and moderate depths, where they drift naturally without dropping straight to the bottom like heavily weighted patterns. In our range, you’ll find highly effective bead head nymphs that have all been thoroughly tested on the water before being added to our selection.
