Halfback

Halfback — Classic Mayfly Nymph

The Halfback is a time-tested Canadian nymph pattern that has earned a loyal following on freestone and tailwater rivers alike. Its peacock herl body, pheasant tail wing case, and soft hackle collar create a buggy, lifelike profile that trout mistake for a wide range of mayfly and stonefly nymphs. Fish it deep on the Roaring Fork, swing it through the riffles on the Frying Pan, or dead-drift it through the Colorado River’s slower pools — the Halfback produces year-round.

• Body — Peacock herl with natural iridescence that mimics a wide range of aquatic insects
