Bead Head Flies

High quality bead head flies at low prices

If you are looking for the cheapest bead head flies without compromising on quality, then look no further than TroutFlies. We have a wide range of fly fishing gear that we put to the test in our local waterways in Tasmania, and we won’t be beaten on price. Unlike many bead head nymphs on the market we can guarantee that ours are high quality, so they won’t let you down when you take them out to the river. Browse our fly fishing gear shop for a huge range of flies and nymphs. Whatever the conditions are on your local river, you’ll find something suitable at Trout Flies.

Why fish with a bead head nymph?

Many fishermen swear by using a bead head nymph, and there are several main theories as to why they work:

  • The weight of the bead helps the nymph to sink close to the bottom where the trout are, and common wisdom says bead head flies work because they get there quickly. Tungsten bead flies are specially designed to sink quickly.
  • A bead looks like a bubble to a fish on the bottom. Caddis flies are known to emerge using an air bubble, and the bead head on a fly can look like an air bubble to a fish.
  •  Bead head flies are shiny. Still another theory says that bead head nymphs attract fish simply because they are made of shiny metal which can attract fish.

Whatever theory you subscribe to, there is no doubt that fly tying bead heads is popular, so why not give it a try?

Fly fishing gear from anglers to anglers

When you buy bead head nymphs from Troutflies you know that you are getting fly fishing gear from people who are passionate about fishing. We use all of our own products, from realistic flies to our signature series when we go out fishing, so we stand by the quality. You won’t find a better range of bead head flies in Australia, so order from Troutflies today and get your new fly fishing gear delivered straight to you!
