The ol' saying "don't judge a book by its cover" applies to Charlie's Airhead Mysis Fly—a simple mysis shrimp imitation that doesn't look like much, but is a tried-and-true producer just about anywhere mysis are found. Invented by Charlie Craven as a way to match the nearly translucent mysis shrimp living in Colorado's Frying Pan River, Charlie's Airhead Mysis has become a staple on any mysis-infested waterway. An easy pattern with a well-considered design, Charlie's Airhead Mysis is tied mostly with egg yarn that, when wet, takes on a milky appearance that closely resembles the naturals.
An excellent fly for tailwater rivers, Charlie's Airhead Mysis Fly can be fished at any moment of the year and is a great early spring pattern before the main hatches get started. Fishing Charlie's Airhead Mysis is pretty simple and straightforward as it's presented like any other nymph—on a tight line, under an indicator, or worked into a two-fly setup. Keep this fly on hand in sizes like 16 and 18, and you can count on it to fool trout anywhere you find these crustaceans.
Sizes Available:
16, 18
