Nymph tied on Hanak 450BL Jig Superb hook, using Hanak tungsten bead and Hends materials.
The main target fish species are trout and grayling but this pattern is an excellent option for chub, bass, and other freshwater fish. This is a very effective nymph all year round and a must-have in any box.
Size chart for hooks and beads:
# 12 = 4mm
# 14 = 3.5mm
# 16 = 3mm
# 18 = 2.5mm
The best bead colors for this pattern, in Ciprian's experience, are silver and gold for freshly stocked or unpressured fish, and bronze and copper for heavily fished waters. In any situation bead color choice will also depend on the clarity of the water, the color of the river bottom and the light conditions.
