Description

The Mosquito Larva Nymph is a realistic fly pattern designed to imitate the aquatic larval stage of the mosquito, a key food source for fish, particularly during early spring and summer. As mosquito larvae are commonly found in slow-moving waters, this fly excels in stillwater environments, ponds, lakes, and slow sections of rivers. Its natural, muted colors and segmented body closely resemble the appearance of a mosquito larva, making it an attractive option for fish feeding on the bottom.

Pro Tip

Fish in Shallow, Vegetated Areas: Mosquito larvae thrive in shallow, weedy areas where they can attach to submerged vegetation. Target shallow sections of ponds, lakes, or slow-moving rivers where vegetation is abundant. Cast your fly into these areas and let it sink to the bottom before starting your retrieve.
