May It Be Jig

The May It Be Jig by RIO is a highly effective fly pattern designed to imitate the slim body of mayfly nymphs, specifically Baetis and Pale Morning Duns (PMDs). Mayflies are a critical food source for trout, and this fly effectively mimics their slender profile with a segmented body that alternates between vinyl and wire, providing the perfect balance of durability and realism. Tied on a barbless jig hook with a tungsten bead, the May It Be Jig sinks quickly and maintains a natural hook-point-up position, making it ideal for euro nymphing rigs.

Target Selective Fish with Subtle Segmentation: The alternating vinyl and wire in the body of the May It Be Jig provides a segmented, realistic appearance that mimics the delicate, thin profile of Baetis and PMD nymphs. In clear water, where fish can be more selective, the fly’s subtle segmentation makes it appear more lifelike and enticing. When fishing in clear, pressured waters, use this fly in combination with a delicate presentation and slow, controlled drifts to increase your chances of attracting selective trout.
