The Fly Fishing Place Tungsten Bead Head Nymph Fly – Flashback Gold Ribbed Hare's Ear (Size 18) – Pack of 6

Overview

The Fly Fishing Place Tungsten Bead Head Nymph Fly offers a refined take on a classic bead head pattern. With a flashback accent and a gold ribbed hare's ear body, this nymph is designed to cut through current and reach productive depths. The six flies come on size 18 hooks, making them a dependable choice for river anglers who match nymphs to prevalent aquatic insects.

In action, the weighted head helps the fly dive toward feeding zones, while the subtle flashback adds a glint that catches the eye as it drifts and pulses with the current. The hare's ear construction delivers a natural silhouette that many anglers associate with productive nymph patterns across a variety of water conditions.
