- Fishing Techniques.
The Micro WD40 Grey Beadhead is best used in clear, slow-moving waters where trout are feeding on small nymphs. To maximise effectiveness, employ a dead-drift presentation by casting upstream and allowing the fly to drift naturally with the current. Use a light tippet to ensure a natural presentation and avoid spooking the fish.
For retrieves, a slow hand-twist or gentle lift-and-drop technique can mimic the movement of emerging insects, enticing strikes. Tactics include targeting riffles and seams where trout are likely to be feeding, and adjusting depth with split shot or a strike indicator to keep the fly in the feeding zone.

Key Seasons - when is this

Bead Head Nymph Trout Fly

most effective?
The Micro WD40 Grey Beadhead is most effective during the spring and autumn months when trout are actively feeding on small nymphs and emerging insects. In spring, focus on the period from March to May, coinciding with the hatching of midges and small mayflies. Autumn, particularly September to November, is also ideal as trout prepare for winter, making them more aggressive feeders. This fly excels in clear, slow-moving waters and during overcast conditions, which mimic the natural environment of emerging insects. Use it in the early morning or late afternoon for the best results.

How does the Turrall Micro WD40 Grey Beadhead Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Micro WD40 Grey Beadhead fly is designed to imitate the nymph stage of small aquatic insects, particularly midges and mayflies, which are a crucial part of a trout's diet. During the nymph stage, these insects are submerged and drift along the riverbed, making them an easy target for feeding fish. The fly's grey colour and beadhead mimic the natural appearance and movement of these nymphs as they prepare to emerge.
Trout target these nymphs because they are abundant and provide a rich source of nutrients. The beadhead adds weight, allowing the fly to sink quickly to the feeding zone, increasing its effectiveness in attracting fish.
