This fly features a striking combination of black and lime, with a bead head that ensures it sinks quickly to the desired depth.

Developed with precision, this fly is crafted to withstand the rigours of freshwater fishing. Its effectiveness is proven across various UK waters, making it a staple in any fly box. The Black/Lime Juicy Grub is particularly effective during the early season when trout are actively feeding on emerging insects. Its vibrant colours and realistic profile make it a top choice for anglers seeking consistent results..
The Black/Lime Bead Head Juicy Grub is best used in clear or slightly stained waters where its vibrant colours can attract trout. To maximise effectiveness, employ a dead-drift presentation by casting upstream and allowing the fly to drift naturally with the current. This mimics the movement of natural prey. Use a floating line with a long leader to maintain a natural drift. For retrieves, try a slow, steady hand-twist retrieve to imitate a swimming grub. In still waters, use a figure-of-eight retrieve to maintain a consistent depth. Vary the speed and depth to find what triggers strikes.
Key Seasons - when is this
Bead Head Nymph Trout Fly
most effective?
The Black/Lime Bead Head Juicy Grub is most effective during the spring and autumn months when trout are actively feeding. In spring, as the water warms, insect activity increases, making this fly ideal during early hatches. Autumn sees trout preparing for winter, so they are more aggressive in their feeding, making this fly a great choice. It excels in clear water conditions and overcast days when visibility is lower, as the contrasting colours attract attention. Use it in rivers and streams with moderate flow for best results.
How does the Turrall Black / Lime Bead Head Juicy Grub Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Black/Lime Bead Head Juicy Grub fly imitates the larval stage of aquatic insects, particularly caddisflies and midges, which are a crucial part of a trout's diet. During this stage, these insects are often found drifting in the water column, making them easy targets for fish. The fly's bead head helps it sink to the desired depth, while its vibrant lime and black colours mimic the natural appearance of these larvae. Trout are drawn to this fly as it represents a high-protein meal, essential for their growth and energy, especially during periods when other food sources are scarce.
