The Straggle Bach Fire Barbless Size 12 is a highly effective, brighter Diawl Bach variation with a fire-coloured holographic butt and mobile straggle collar. It keeps the slim nymph shape of the original while adding a warm, visible trigger for coloured water, dull days or fish that are reacting to stronger contrast.
Use it in a stillwater nymph team on a floating or intermediate line. Start with a slow figure-of-eight, then try short pulls and pauses to make the collar move. It can be positioned where its colour is most useful - often on the point or middle dropper - while subtler flies complete the team. Fish it with confidence and be ready for the rod to bend.
