Bird's Nest-Beadhead

The birds nest was designed by Cal Bird for catching Truckee River trout. It is a great nymph for all  trout rivers and streams. Fish it dead drift in the film or along the bottom with a split shot to mimic a nymph. It can be fished on the swing to imitate an ascending caddis pupae or stripped along the edges of weed beds to simulate a swimming nymph or baitfish. Beadheads have shown time and again to catch fish when nothing else will.
