RS2 EMERGER CRYSTAL WING TUNGSTEN

Description

The RS2 Tungsten Bead is a modern, weighted variation of the iconic RS2 emerger pattern. Designed to imitate Blue Wing Olive (BWO) and other small mayfly emergers, this version adds a tungsten bead to help the fly sink quickly and stay in the feeding zone longer. It’s perfect for targeting selective trout in technical waters where precision, depth, and realistic presentation make all the difference.

Design / Features

The RS2 Tungsten Bead features a slim, tapered body, trailing shuck, and a tungsten bead that adds weight without sacrificing the fly’s clean silhouette. This allows the pattern to cut through the current efficiently, creating a smooth, drag-free drift. The tungsten bead also gives the fishing flies added versatility—letting it fish well in both shallow and deep runs. Its realistic profile and subtle movement make it especially effective during mayfly hatches.

When & Where to Use

The RS2 Tungsten Bead excels during spring and fall BWO hatches but can be fished year-round in tailwaters, freestones, and spring creeks. Ideal for Euro-nymphing, tight-line rigs, or as a dropper beneath a dry fly, it performs best when trout are feeding subsurface in slower seams and riffles.
