Today’s choices set vibrant attractors with subtle naturals.
The Notorious Pink Worm leans into presence for when subtlety takes a rear seats. On the opposite end, the Pheasant Tail Nymph stays a masterclass in restraint– evidence that timeless products and tidy percentages never ever head out of design.
The Cased Caddis deserves a close appearance with excellent textured realism, and the heavy profile keeps it hugging the bottom where sluggish winter season trout tend to hold. On The Other Hand, Davie McPhail’s Straggle Midget Pupa provides a more fragile discussion with fibers that bring a small pattern to life.
From micro-midges to brilliant worms, the variety here shows the truth of cold-water fishing: you require choices.
