BIRDS NEST OLIVE B.H.

Description

The Bird’s Nest Olive Bead Head (B.H.) is a timeless nymph pattern that imitates a wide variety of aquatic insects, including caddis pupa larvae, mayfly nymphs, and small stoneflies. Its scruffy, dubbed body and natural olive tones give it a buggy appearance that trout find irresistible in both rivers and stillwaters. The bead head adds weight, ensuring the fishing flies sink quickly into the strike zone.

Designed for versatility, the Bird’s Nest is tied with soft hackle fibers that pulse in the current, imitating the movement of legs or emerging wings. The olive coloration makes it particularly effective in streams with substantial caddis populations. Still, it also functions as a general attractor nymph that trout will eat even when no hatch is present.

The Bird’s Nest Olive B.H. can be fished under an indicator, as part of a Euro-nymphing setup, or drifted naturally through riffles and seams. Its ability to suggest multiple food sources makes it one of the most dependable patterns in fly fishing. Whether targeting selective fish in clear water or prospecting in fast currents, these fly fishing flies deliver consistent results.
