RS2 Olive Emerger Midge Nymph Fly – 12 Flies (Hook #18) | Region Fishing

Overview

Region Fishing presents the RS2 Olive Emerger Midge Nymph Fly, a compact pattern inspired by Rim Chung’s renowned RS2. While many anglers treat it as an emerger, it’s often fished effectively as a nymph, drifting just below the surface or along the riverbed. Its small silhouette and olive hue blend with natural insect life across diverse rivers, offering a subtle, realistic target for wary trout.

What makes it special

Rooted in the Rim Chung lineage, this fly carries a legacy of reliability. The streamlined profile and carefully chosen materials mimic the cues trout key on during common hatches. When presented with a light drift in riffles or tailouts, the RS2 Olive Emerger can prompt strikes from cautious fish without appearing flashy.

Assortment and sizes

The package includes an assortment of 12 flies, four examples of each hook size: 18, 20, and 22. This selection gives you options to match varying water depths and current speeds without swapping patterns mid-day.

What you get

• Mustad Signature hooks with sharpness and strength
• Bronze finish; chemically sharpened, Nor-Tempered steel

How to fish

For best results, start with a light drift and a longer leader. In slower water, present the fly near the bottom, allowing the pattern to ride up slightly with the current. In faster runs, maintain a steady tension to keep the fly moving naturally through seams and pockets.

Materials and durability

Patterns use premium materials chosen for lifelike movement and durability. The Mustad hooks provide precise scaling between gap, bend, and shank length, while the bronze finish offers a subtle shine that mirrors natural light in various conditions.

Care and storage

Store flies in a clean, dry box to prevent corrosion. Inspect a few flies before a trip to ensure sharpness and tie integrity remain intact after extended use.

Bottom line

Whether you’re chasing river trout or adapting to shifting hatch timings, the RS2 Olive Emerger Midge Nymph Fly offers a compact, versatile option that aligns with classic angling traditions and modern tying standards. It isn’t a guarantee, but it is a thoughtful, field-ready addition to your fly box.
