Diawl Bach
Subtle, small nymph pattern, can be used to target many freshwater species.
How it's tied
The Diawl Bach fly is tied using a short or medium shank hook and has a slim profile. The body is typically formed from dubbed fur or synthetic fibers, wrapped around the hook shank to create a slender, tapered shape. A ribbing material, such as fine wire or tinsel, is used to create segmentation along the body. The tail and legs are made from hackle fibers or pheasant tail fibers. Some variations of the Diawl Bach fly may incorporate a bead or thorax cover to add weight or additional attraction. Overall it's a pretty simple but effective pattern.
What it mimics
The Diawl Bach fly is designed to imitate a variety of small nymphs or other aquatic insects. Its mostly used in clear water conditions.
Where it's used
The Diawl Bach fly can be used in any freshwater type and is fished as a nymph, so you can use an indicator or Euronymph (tight line) it.
