Beadhead AP Black Nymph

The AP (All-Purpose) Nymph in black imitates a wide range of aquatic insects, especially stonefly nymphs, dark mayfly nymphs, and caddis larvae. Its black color works well in stained water or overcast conditions.

History:
Created by Al Troth, the AP Nymph was designed as a universal searching pattern. The beadhead version adds weight for faster sink rate and became popular in the 1980s–90s with the rise of beadhead nymphing techniques.
