'The Lazy Baetis' nymph - Fly tying with Geoff Johnston

'The Lazy Baetis' is tied to imitate the nymph of the Large Dark Olive (Baetis rhodani). Over the years it has worked very well for me, for both Trout and Grayling, when the Large Dark Olive hatches in Spring, and again in late Autumn and early winter.
