A fast-sinking, high-flash attractor nymph for riffles and pocket water. The Lightning Bug Flash pairs a bright, reflective body with a sleek head and crisp ribbing—throwing eye-catching shimmer that pulls 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: Flashy body and slim build sink fast and stay visible; clean segmentation keeps a believable nymph profile that triggers eats on the drift and lift
-
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.
