Why Nymph Imitations Work:
Dragonfly nymphs are a primary food source for trout and panfish in streams, rivers, and lakes. The Hydra Nymph's realistic profile and natural appendages create lifelike movement that triggers instinctive feeding responses. Perfect for sight fishing in clear water, working rocky bottoms, or fishing around aquatic vegetation where natural nymphs live. The 1.25" size perfectly matches the profile of juvenile dragonfly nymphs that fish feed on year-round.
