Arnot’s Pocket Drone – Pink Bead (Barbless)

Baetis & Mayfly Nymph with Hot Orange Butt

Arnot’s Pocket Drone – Pink Bead (Barbless) is a proven, confidence-building mayfly nymph designed to cover a huge range of Baetis and general mayfly situations. With its clean profile, subtly flashy ribbed body, and standout hot orange butt, it’s the kind of fly that earns a permanent spot in your box.

As Jack says:
“A longtime confidence pattern in my box, the Pocket Drone has handled nearly all of my Baetis and mayfly needs since high school. With its hot orange butt and subtly flashy ribbed body, this fly earns year-round real estate in my box.”

The pink bead adds just the right amount of attraction without overpowering the natural silhouette, making it a great choice in everything from winter Baetis windows to spring and fall mayfly fishing.

Tied barbless for easier releases and faster hook removal, it’s an ideal option for modern nymphing setups, from indicator rigs to euro-style presentations.
