Marc Petitjean uses finest CDC-Materials not only for his dry flies but as well for his nymphs. The soft fibers are more lively than most other materials for sub-surface patterns.
This light mayfly nymph is tied without a bead head and sinks slowly – perfect for trouts feeding close to the surface or in shallow waters. Further, wary trouts are easily spooked by shiny beads what makes this pattern perfect for stealthy presentations.
Tip: Add more attraction to this fly treating it with Loon Dust. It will create air bubbles like with real emerging nymphs and lets your fly sink even slower.

- Type: Baetis Nymph
- Colour: blue dun
