The Lickety Split is a simple but highly effective mayfly nymph designed to imitate insects just beginning the emergence process. The defining feature is the bright split case alon g the back, which suggests a mayfly nymph starting to crack open as it transitions toward the surface — a stage trout key in on heavily.A tungsten bead helps the fly get down quickly, while the buggy segmented body keeps the profile natural enough for technical trout and pressured water. It is not an overly complicated pattern, but that is part of what makes it so effective. Show more
