Juju Baetis

Clone

Charlie Craven's Juju Baetis is a sleek, modern nymph that imitates tiny Baetis mayfly nymphs with devastating precision. Its thin, epoxy-coated body and CDC wing puff create a slim, realistic profile that is deadly during Baetis nymph activity on Colorado's technical tailwaters.

Fishing tips

Fish as a dropper behind a heavier nymph. The CDC wing puff traps a tiny air bubble that adds both flash and buoyancy in the drift.
