Bead Head BH Lightning Bug

The Lightning Bug is a simple nymph pattern that I've had quite a bit of success using. This is a simpler version (Orvis version?) than one designed by Garry Stacker which includes a flashback and legs.
This pattern has worked quite well for trout, Arctic graying, perch, and sunfish. The fly has tons of reflective metallic surfaces and a delicious looking profile.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
