BIRDS NEST NATURAL B.H.

Description

Bird’s Nest Natural B.H. – Classic Nymph with Weighted Head

The Bird’s Nest Natural Bead Head (B.H.) is a classic nymph pattern that has stood the test of time. Known for its buggy profile and impressionistic design, these fly fishing flies imitate a wide range of aquatic insects, from caddis larvae to mayfly nymphs. The natural body materials and bead head weighting make it both realistic and effective for reaching trout feeding deeper in the water column.

Design / Features

This pattern is tied with a natural-colored body of soft dubbing that creates a fuzzy, lifelike appearance. The soft hackle collar pulses in the current, mimicking the movement of legs or emerging wings. The bead head not only adds flash but also ensures the fly sinks quickly into the strike zone, making it ideal for faster currents or deeper pools. Its durable design withstands repeated use while still maintaining a natural look that trout can’t resist.

When and Where to Use

The Bird’s Nest Natural B.H. excels in rivers, creeks, and stillwaters where trout feed on nymphs year-round. It is especially effective in spring and summer during caddis activity, but remains a go-to searching pattern in all seasons. Fished dead-drifted under an indicator, in a Euro-nymphing setup, or as a dropper beneath a dry fly, this versatile pattern consistently produces results.
