Hot Head Ray Charles - Pink

The Pink Hot Head Ray Charles is a highly effective nymph pattern designed to imitate scuds and sowbugs, a primary food source for trout in tailwaters and spring creeks. Featuring a bright pink bead as an attractor, this fly excels in murky water, heavily fished areas, or during times when fish need an extra visual trigger to strike. The soft, natural body mimics aquatic invertebrates, making it an irresistible option for fish feeding near the bottom.

Tied with durable materials, the Pink Hot Head Ray Charles provides lifelike movement and a natural drift, ensuring it remains in the strike zone for longer periods. This fly is particularly effective in slower-moving waters, deep pools, and riffles where trout are actively foraging for scuds and sowbugs. Its combination of bright visibility and realistic imitation makes it a go-to fly for targeting selective fish.

To fish the Pink Hot Head Ray Charles effectively, use it as part of a nymphing setup under a strike indicator or as a dropper beneath a dry fly. A dead-drift presentation along the riverbed will produce the best results, especially in tailwaters where scuds and sowbugs are abundant year-round.
