"This drake nymph is tied with a tungsten bead so it is guaranteed to scrape bottom, and the combination of natural and synthetic materials impart a realistic look and irresistible underwater motion.
And the jig-style hook equates to more hookups.
Despite being tied to imitate a very specific insect, I've found this pattern to be an excellent all-purpose nymph, and it often finds its way to the anchor position when I'm fishing a two-nymph rig."
