KJ's Black N' Red Diawl Bach

KJ's Black N' Red Diawl Bach, designed by Kieron Jenkins for Fulling Mill, is a variation of the classic Diawl Bach nymph, made to mimic the larvae of midges or other aquatic insects in stillwater environments. The fly is well-known for its simple yet effective black and red color scheme, which offers a striking contrast that draws attention from predatory fish. The Black N' Red Diawl Bach maintains the slender, natural profile of the original Diawl Bach, making it highly effective when fishing for trout, especially in deeper water where midges and other nymphs are present.

Fish it Slowly in Deeper Waters: The Black N' Red Diawl Bach is best fished in deeper, cooler water, where trout are feeding on bottom-dwelling insects. Use a slow, steady retrieve to mimic the natural movement of larvae or pupae. A fast-sinking line will help get the fly down to the fish's feeding depth more quickly.
