Like a juicy slice of prime rib for trout, the crane fly larva can grow as large as your pinkie finger and represents a huge meal to a hungry trout. Particularly productive in the early Spring through runoff, the Beadhead Mop Fly is an amazingly affective lead fly on a nymphing rig as its fat abdomen twists and kicks in the current!
