Bead Head Fox Squirrel Nymph is Dave Whitlock’s famous pattern that has caught trout, panfish, and steelhead for decades. Its pedigree runs deep across rivers and seasons, delivering dependable subsurface presentation. This late season fly shines in August and September, especially on the Yellowstone River, where subtle motions and a steady sink rate produce timely takes. In crowded water or fast runs, its compact profile stays clean beneath the surface where fish feed.
