Diamond Bead - Halo/Nimbus Midge™

Small fly, big attitude. The Diamond Bead Nimbus Midge™ — aka Halo Midge — is the slightly flashier cousin of the regular Nimbus Midge: same stealthy profile, now with a glass bead that brings a little weight and a lot more “hey, look at me” sparkle.

Who it’s for: Trout anglers who fish western tailwaters and want a subtle, effective attractor that sinks faster than ego at a beginner’s casting clinic. AXG Life — Life, Adventure-Ready.

Key Features & Design

• Variant: Diamond Bead Nimbus Midge™ (also called Halo Midge)
• Bead: Glass bead added for extra weight and visual attraction
• Purpose-built: Specifically designed for western tailwaters
• Design lineage: Uptake on the regular Nimbus Midge — same proven profile with a polished twist

Performance & Benefits

The glass bead does two things: gives the fly a touch more sink so it hits the strike zone faster, and adds a subtle flash that triggers fish without shouting. That means less time fiddling with split shot and more time convincing trout to make questionable life choices (like eating your fly).

Perfect for nymph rigs and tight-line tactics on cold, clear tailwaters — this fly keeps your presentation honest, your leader clean, and your campfire stories plausible. It’s built for midnight trail runs and questionable decisions, but mostly for picking off picky trout in current seams where a tiny bit of weight and a little sparkle make all the difference.

Why you’ll like it

• Turns stuck weekends into hero stories — quietly and efficiently.
• Sneaky profile with noticeable attraction when it counts.
• Reliable for the conditions it was made for: western tailwaters.

Time to upgrade your midge game. Toss the Diamond Bead Nimbus Midge™ in your box and make the next drift count — add to cart and give your rod something worth bragging about.
