Burk's Hex Nymph

The Burk's Hexagenia Nymph, crafted by renowned fly tyer Andy Burk, is designed to imitate the large Hexagenia mayfly nymphs that inhabit silty bottoms of lakes and slow-moving rivers. These nymphs become particularly active a few hours before sunset, making this pattern effective during pre-hatch periods. A distinctive feature of this fly is the use of aftershaft feathers to represent the prominent gills of the natural nymph, enhancing its realism and appeal to trout.

Surface Emergence Imitation: As the hatch progresses, switch to a rapid retrieve to simulate nymphs swiftly rising to the surface. This technique can provoke aggressive responses from feeding trout.
