Description
RIO's Nice Glass is a versatile baitfish imitation designed with glass beads that provide both weight and translucence, creating a lifelike appearance in the water. This fly is effective across a wide range of fisheries and species, from salmon and redfish to bluefish, stripers, albies, and even cutthroat trout. The subtle sparkle and natural movement of the Nice Glass make it irresistible to predatory fish that feed on baitfish, making it a must-have pattern for any angler targeting saltwater or freshwater game fish.
Pro Tip
Fish the Nice Glass with a steady retrieve to mimic the movement of a baitfish, or add occasional pauses and erratic strips to trigger reaction strikes. Use intermediate or sink-tip lines to get the fly into the strike zone, especially in deeper water or faster currents. In clear water, the glass beads provide just the right amount of flash to attract attention without spooking wary fish.
