BH Halfback Stonefly Nymph — The Nymph That Pretends to Be Everything

Small, sneaky, and suspiciously effective — the BH Halfback Stonefly Nymph does impersonations for a living. Built to fool trout (and your fishing buddies), this fly is your go-to for river riffles, lake edges, and the kind of water where fish have trust issues.

Who it’s for: anglers who want a reliable, versatile nymph that sinks fast and looks believable. Why it matters: because the right fly makes your day on the water feel like skill instead of luck. AXG Life — Life, Adventure-Ready.

Key Features & Design

• Imitates: Primarily a Stonefly Nymph, but doubles as a Dragonfly Nymph in lakes and ponds.
• Materials: Tied with peacock herl and brown hackle for lifelike profile and movement.
• Weighted: Bead head design helps the fly get down deep and stay where the fish are.
• Sizes available: #4, #8, #10, #14, #16 & #20 — pick your match for water clarity and fish mood.

Performance / Benefits

This nymph sinks fast, rides naturally, and flares just enough to catch attention without screaming "artificial." The peacock herl adds iridescence that reads as vulnerable life under water; the brown hackle gives the right silhouette and subtle legs. The bead head ensures quick depth control so you waste less time guessing and more time landing fish.

In practice: use the larger sizes (#4–#10) where fish are targeting hefty fare or in faster currents; switch to #14–#20 for picky trout on calm stretches. Perfect for river runs, pocket water, and stillwaters where a convincing nymph can turn stuck weekends into hero stories.

How It Levels Up Your Gear

• Turns slow bites into follows by getting into the strike zone quickly.
• Versatile enough to replace several flies in your box — less clutter, more fishing.
• Durable tying and proven profile mean fewer re-ties and more casts.

AXG Life approved: built for muddy runs, clear streams, midnight last-cast glory, and all your questionable decisions in between. Life, Adventure-Ready.

Add this halfback to your fly box and make your next cast tell a better story — toss it in the kit and fish like you meant it.
