Standard Nymph Olive Helgramite (Daiichi 1730)

Easily the best nymph sold by LDF Fly Fishing Tackle. This thing sells by the gross. For 10 years now, we have had jaw dropping reports on this fly from customers using it on White River in Arkansas and from customers all over the eastern third of the US. I'm not sure what gives it the fish catching power, but it has something. Don Ball from Bruce, MS does well on White River by fishing it with a Jim Teeny sink tip. He lets the fly drift to the bottom, lie there for a few seconds, then raises the rod tip to let it dead drift in the current.

It finally happened! The Olive Helgramite is responsible for a state fly rod record. One of our longtime customers caught a 3lb. 2 oz. crappie in MS in May, 06. More on this later!
