This pattern has become one of our most reliable Euro nymphs year-round. Tied on a size 18 Ahrex CZ Mini Jig, it carries a 2.8mm tungsten bead while maintaining a slim, natural profile and excellent hook gape – ideal for light tippets and wary fish.
The slender body cuts through the current and sinks fast, tracking perfectly for a true, natural drift. It performs superbly as either point or dropper fly in a Euro nymphing setup, holding depth and contact even in tricky pocket water or smooth glides.
The olive collar gives a natural, understated flash that blends beautifully in clear or lightly tinted water – a subtle trigger that doesn’t alarm selective fish. A proven, all-season performer that consistently takes both trout and grayling from spring through the winter grayling season.
A compact, tactical nymph built for precision and confidence.
