Umpqua Graveyard Baetis Wood

When baetis are hatching hard and the fish get picky, this pattern brings order to the chaos. The open cell foam back and wing buds create a visible, bulbous thorax that is easy to track, yet still looks natural to trout. Built on a wide gap, short shank, 1X heavy TMC2457 hook, it offers strong hook holds even on bigger fish.

The slim abdomen and clean silhouette help it imitate baetis emergers in clear, pressured water, while the foam adds just enough lift and visibility. Fish it near the surface on its own, behind a high-floating dry, or as part of a Euro rig closer to the bottom. Sizes 18 and 22 match common baetis stages on many European and US rivers, from calm tailwaters to faster riffles.
