Higa's SOS Nymph fly pattern - Baetis nymph image

Description

Higa's S.O.S. Nymph, created by Utah-based guide Spencer Higa, was originally designed as a Baetis (Blue-Winged Olive) imitation but has proven effective as a general attractor pattern. The name "S.O.S." stands for "Save Our Skin," reflecting its reliability in challenging fishing conditions. Its slender, dark profile with a distinctive red wing case and subtle flash mimics various mayfly nymphs, making it a versatile choice in diverse waters

Pro Tip

When nothing is working give this little fly a chance!
