Hot tub perch!

Some Dutch lowland streams turn into real hot tubs this month (may). That's because of the explosive hatches of mayflies & caenis. Rudd, dace and perch act over here as trout and feed on emergers & shucks.
 
I seduced this perch (and some rudd) with this lead head style mayfly nymph. It is made on a scud hook with a chenille body, CDC, bead & wonder wing. No plant snags with this fly, just fish! I love the true "lead head" design because it keeps the nymph (more) horizontal like a natural.

The only trouble with extending bodies is that you don't hook the quick-thinking and tail nibbling fish! But bigger ones usually do a full contact hook up.
