The world's most famous mayfly nymph, weighted with a bead. Frank Sawyer's pheasant tail design matches virtually every mayfly nymph in the river, and the bead gets it to the fish fast.
When to Fish It
All season, anywhere mayflies live. Fish it before and during any mayfly hatch, or as your searching nymph when nothing is showing. Great point fly with a midge or emerger trailed behind it on light tippet.
