The main target fish species are trout and grayling but this pattern is also an excellent option for chub, bass, and other freshwater fish. Originating from the Chateauguay river in Southwestern Quebec and Northeastern New York State, this is a very effective nymph on most Adirondacks rivers in August, September, and October.
The best bead colors according to Ciprian's experience are copper and silver. In any situation bead color choice should be also dictated by the clarity of the water, the color of the river bottom and the light conditions.
