Guide Dave Gamet ties his Tie-Dyed Baetis Nymph, which has proven itself to be an exceptional pattern when fish are keying on Blue Winged Olive nymphs. The Rainbow Tungsten bead gives this fly a look that not many other patterns have, and the fish eat it with little hesitation! Tie up a few and give them a try next time you're out and the fish are keyed on small mayfly nymphs - you won't be disappointed.
