The Grayling Bug Hares Ear Barbless Tungsten Nymph is best used in clear, fast-flowing streams and rivers. To maximise effectiveness, employ a dead-drift presentation by casting upstream and allowing the fly to drift naturally with the current. Use a strike indicator to detect subtle takes. For deeper pools, add weight to the leader to ensure the nymph reaches the bottom where grayling feed.
Employ a slow, steady retrieve with occasional twitches to mimic natural insect movement. Adjust the depth and speed based on water conditions and fish activity. Use a light tippet for a more natural presentation and to avoid spooking fish.
