The Beadhead Halfback is a buggy peacock-bodied attractor nymph with a pheasant-fiber back and a brass bead—the half-shellback profile that suggests a mayfly nymph, small stonefly, or general drifting insect. A Canadian classic that earns its keep as a searching nymph. The peacock body does the timeless iridescent work while the bead sinks it; a confident anywhere nymph for freestone and stillwater alike. Best for: General searching and prospecting Freestone runs and stillwater Dropper and anchor duty 📌 Pro Tip: When you don't know what's on the menu, the peacock Halfback is a safe opening bet—the iridescence reads as alive in any water.
