Bead Head Tailwater Sowbug Jig Fly

Tied by Umpqua Feather Merchants.

Tailwaters, clear limestone streams, and even some Stillwater scenarios, the Bead Head Tailwater Sowbug Jig Fly is a fly that can hold its own almost anywhere you go. Offering an excellent scud and sowbug imitation, this is a fly that excels in weedy, vegetation-rich waters where trout key in on these freshwater amphipods. Tied on a jig hook, the Bead Head Tailwater Sowbug Jig Fly rides with its hook point up to prevent snags. And with a multi-tone, picked-out dubbing body, you get increased movement and a perfect match of the naturals, while a bead head ensures that you’re always fishing deep in the water column.

The Bead Head Tailwater Sowbug will catch fish all year long, and again, it pays to fish it in areas rich with vegetation. Fish it on a tight line, under an indicator, or as a component of a multi-nymph rig, this is a fly that you can turn to with reliability anywhere you find the naturals.
