Collection: Hans' Wire Bodied Baetis Nymph Fly Tying Materials

Small baetis nymphs are a staple food item in trout diets, and this pattern works especially well. We like this pattern for the slender profile, weight, and segmentation. Fish the Wire Bodied Baetis below a heavier nymph or below a dry fly for best results! Picky fish really like this pattern - tie it in sizes 16-22.
