The RS2 Crystal Wing Glass Bead is a refined emerger pattern that imitates tiny mayflies—particularly Blue Wing Olives (Baetis)—as they transition from nymph to adult. Built on the legendary RS2 design, this variation features a crystal wing for enhanced visibility and a glass bead for a touch of sparkle and added weight. The results are highly effective fly fishing flies that fool even the most selective trout in technical waters.
The slim body provides a natural mayfly profile, while the glass bead offers subtle shine without the bulk or heavy drop of tungsten. The crystal wing reflects light and mimics emerging wings trapped in the film, making this pattern especially effective during cloudy days or in low-light conditions. Its delicate profile ensures it drifts naturally, whether fished on the swing, dead-drifted, or as a dropper behind a dry fly.
The RS2 Crystal Wing Glass Bead is a top choice during Blue Wing Olive hatches in spring and fall, but also produces year-round on tailwaters, spring creeks, and pressured rivers. Subtle, realistic, and versatile, these fishing flies are indispensable for anglers targeting finicky trout.
