Lightning Bug Black - Bead Nymph | 3 Pack

A fast-sinking, high-contrast attractor nymph for riffles and pocket water. The Bead Head Lightning Bug (Black) pairs a sleek metal bead with a dark, reflective body and crisp ribbing—throwing flash and silhouette that pull strikes in low light or lightly stained conditions while still drifting naturally.

• When it excels: Spring through fall; riffles, knee-deep runs, and pocket water; overcast days and post-rain stain; prospecting new water
• Why it works: Black body provides strong silhouette while subtle flash and bead add a lifelike trigger; slim build sinks fast and tracks true near the bottom
• Pack size: 3 flies
• Targets: Trout (rainbow, brown, brook)
• Ready to fish: Durable wraps and consistent proportions for repeatable, long drifts

How to fish it

Dead-drift under an indicator at ~1.5× water depth or tightline/Euro with steady contact; add a small split shot 8–12" up if you aren’t ticking bottom. Fish it as a dropper below a buoyant dry (16–24") or behind a heavier point fly, and finish each drift with a gentle lift to flash the body like an ascending nymph.

Care

Rinse after use and air-dry before boxing to prevent hook corrosion.
