The Gold Bead Diawl Bach is a versatile, weighted version of the Welsh 'little devil'. Its slim body suggests a midge pupa or small nymph, while the gold bead helps it reach the feeding layer and adds a restrained trigger.
Fish it in a stillwater nymph team, beneath an indicator or with a slow figure-of-eight. It can also be used in gentle river glides where an unweighted Diawl Bach rides too high. This purposeful pattern can quickly put a welcome bend in the rod.
