Description

RS2 Grey Glass Bead – a subtle emerger with a touch of sparkle

The RS2 Grey Glass Bead is a refined variation of the legendary RS2 emerger pattern, designed to perfectly imitate Blue Wing Olive (BWO) and other small mayfly emergers. The addition of a glass bead provides just enough sparkle to draw attention without overpowering the fishing fly’s natural profile. Perfect for selective trout and technical water, this pattern is a favorite during low and clear flows.

Design / Features

The RS2 Grey Glass Bead features a slim, tapered grey body with a trailing shuck and a translucent glass bead at the head. This bead adds a soft shimmer that mimics an air bubble on an emerging insect, enhancing realism. Its lightweight construction allows it to ride delicately in or just below the surface film, offering a lifelike presentation. This subtle detail often makes the difference for wary fish.

When & Where to Use

The RS2 Grey Glass Bead excels during BWO hatches in spring and fall but is productive year-round in tailwaters, spring creeks, and freestones. Ideal for light nymph rigs, dropper setups, or fished solo on fine tippet, these fishing flies are especially effective in flat, clear water where trout are most selective.
