The Violet Bug Barbless Nymph Size 12 is a superb, compact attractor nymph with a violet body. Its colour is a trigger rather than a literal insect match, while the buggy profile suggests shrimp, caddis larvae and other substantial subsurface food.
Fish it close to the riverbed on a tight line or beneath an indicator. It is particularly useful for grayling and trout in winter, coloured water or deep pools. Its profile and movement make it a strong choice for turning a quiet drift into a take.
