# **How to Choose Tungsten Bead Head Rubber Legs Nymph, Pat’s Rubber Legs, BH Girdle Bug #6**

When it comes to nymph fishing, having the right fly can make all the difference between a slow day and a trophy catch. Among the most effective patterns are the **Tungsten Bead Head Rubber Legs Nymph, Pat’s Rubber Legs, and BH Girdle Bug #6**. These flies mimic stoneflies and other aquatic insects, making them irresistible to trout and other freshwater species.

In this guide, we’ll break down how to choose the best version of these flies for your fishing needs, ensuring you maximize your success on the water.

## **1. Understanding the Key Features**

### **Tungsten Bead Head Rubber Legs Nymph**
– **Tungsten Bead**: Unlike brass or lead, tungsten beads provide a faster sink rate, allowing the fly to reach deeper pools quickly.
– **Rubber Legs**: The pulsating movement of rubber legs adds lifelike action, triggering aggressive strikes.
– **Durable Materials**: High-quality dubbing and wire ribbing ensure longevity, even in fast currents.

**Best Use**: Ideal for fast-moving water and deep runs where trout hold near the bottom.

### **Pat’s Rubber Legs**
– **Classic Stonefly Imitation**: Designed to mimic large stonefly nymphs, a favorite food source for trout.
– **Varied Color Options**: Available in black, brown, and olive to match local insect hatches.
– **Weighted or Unweighted**: Some versions include a bead head for extra depth, while unweighted ones work well in shallow riffles.

**Best Use**: Excellent in rocky streams and rivers with stonefly populations.

### **BH Girdle Bug #6**
– **Bulky Profile**: The thick body and rubber legs create a substantial silhouette, perfect for attracting larger fish.
– **Bead Head Option**: The weighted version helps the fly sink quickly in turbulent water.
– **Versatile Colors**: Black, brown, and olive are the most productive, but flashy variations can work in stained water.

**Best Use**: Great for high-stick nymphing and as a dropper in tandem rigs.

## **2. Choosing the Right Size & Color**
– **Size #6**: A larger hook size like #6 is ideal for big trout and aggressive fish. However, in clear water or pressured fish, downsizing to #10 or #12 may be necessary.
– **Color Selection**:
– **Black**: Works in most conditions, especially in low light or murky water.
– **Brown & Olive**: Best for natural stonefly imitations in clear streams.
– **Flashy Variations**: Add a bit of sparkle for extra attraction in stained water.

## **3. Rigging & Presentation Tips**
– **Euro Nymphing**: Use the Tungsten Bead Head version as a point fly in a tight-line setup.
– **Indicator Fishing**: Pair the BH Girdle Bug with a smaller nymph as a dropper for a two-fly rig.
– **Dead Drift & Twitch**: The rubber legs create movement even on a dead drift, but occasional small twitches can provoke reaction strikes.
