WD40 BEAD HEAD

Description

The WD40 Bead Head is a subtle, effective nymph designed to imitate small midges and emerging Baetis mayflies. Its slender profile, soft materials, and bead head weight make it one of the most dependable flies for technical trout waters. Initially developed for tailwaters, these fly fishing flies have since proven themselves on freestones, spring creeks, and stillwaters as well.

The slim body mimics small aquatic insects drifting in the current, while the bead head helps it sink quickly into feeding lanes. Its delicate design allows it to ride naturally in the water, perfectly imitating emergers or drowned insects. Due to its versatility, it can be used as a dropper below a dry fly, as part of a Euro-nymph rig, or suspended under an indicator.

The WD40 Bead Head is most effective during midge and Blue Wing Olive hatches in the cooler months, but it produces fish year-round in waters where trout are keyed in on small bugs. Selective trout that ignore flashier patterns often take this fly without hesitation. A must-have for anglers who fish technical waters and rely on confidence fishing flies.
