Bead Baetis BL #18

The Bead Baetis BL from Fulling Mill is a barbless bead head nymph tied to match Baetis mayflies. The barbless hook is kind to fish and meets competition and special-regulation requirements.

Dead-drift it in riffles and seams during Blue Winged Olive hatches. Size #18 matches the small olives that hatch through much of the season. Mayfly nymphs are on the trout menu nearly every day of the season, so a pattern like this earns a permanent place in your nymph box.
