Beaded Mosquito Larva Nymph

Gapen Beaded Mosquito Larva Nymph

The Gapen Beaded Mosquito Larva Nymph imitates mosquito larvae and other slim, midge-style larvae that live in still and slow water. The slim body keeps the profile natural, and the bead gives it a slow, steady sink.

Fish it in lakes, ponds and the slow edges of streams, where trout and panfish cruise for small food near the surface and in the shallows.

Fishing Tips
