Bead Head Green Drake Nymph

This Bead Head Green Drake nymph pattern is a fantastic midseason pattern and can be fished in the later part of May on into mid-June. This Green Drake pattern represents larger mayfly species, in North America most commonly, Ephemera Guttulata.

The hatch this pattern imitates normally occurs on cloudier overcast days, later in the day beginning at dusk and continuing for an hour or so. These mayflies can produce a “super hatch”. A super hatch, on the flip side, may be sporadic and occur in varying volume at specific areas of the river, this makes it tricky. Once the conditions are right, the hatch can occur and continue for a number of days. Fish this pattern on a dead drift with a little action to impersonate emerging dun.

All flies are tied with American sourced materials including Hareline Dubbin Materials and Whiting Farm's Hackles & Capes and are tied on premium hooks.
