- Sizes
- #18–#24
- Imitates
- small mayfly nymphs · Baetis nymphs · Trico nymphs
A tiny, sparse nymph tied on a barbless jig hook that imitates the smallest mayfly nymphs in the drift. Effective during heavy Baetis and Trico nymph activity, it is the secret weapon for technical tailwater fishing when trout are keyed on minuscule naturals.
