WD40 Black - Bead Nymph | 3 Pack

A slim, quick-sinking emerger/nymph for tough fish and cold water. The WD-40 Bead Head Nymph (Black) keeps the pattern’s sparse, buggy profile and trailing shuck but adds a bead for fast depth—perfect for midge and small mayfly situations on pressured rivers and tailwaters.

  • When it excels: Late fall through spring; overcast days; tailwaters and spring creeks; soft seams, slow runs, and pool tails
  • Why it works: Black, slender body and subtle shuck read “vulnerable emerger”; bead gets it down quickly and helps maintain contact for long, drag-free drifts
  • Pack size: 3 flies
  • Targets: Trout (rainbow, brown, brook)
  • Ready to fish: Sparse, durable tie with consistent proportions for delicate presentations on fine tippet

How to fish it

Dead-drift under an indicator with 5X–6X or tightline/Euro with steady contact; adjust depth until you tick occasionally. During active midge/BWO hatches, run it 12–24" below a small dry as a dropper, or trail it behind a slightly heavier point fly. Finish each drift with a gentle lift to suggest an emerging insect breaking the film.

Care

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