Juju baetis
The Juju baetis has become THE baetis pattern in the years since its inception. With a perfectly shaped, durable small mayfly profile, the Juju baetis is a must have pattern for any serious nymph fisher. An obvious take off of the Jujubee Midge, the Juju baetis was born out of a need to more closely match this important food source. Extra durability of this pattern due to the UV coating.

FAQs
What does a Juju Baetis imitate?
The Juju Baetis imitates small Baetis mayflies, better known to most anglers as Blue-Winged Olives. It works especially well as a slim nymph or emerger profile when trout are feeding on tiny mayflies below the surface or just before a hatch gets rolling.
When should I fish a Juju Baetis?
Fish it when Blue-Winged Olives are active, especially on cloudy, cool, drizzly, or shoulder-season days. Baetis are one of those bugs trout see often, and some BWO species can show up across multiple generations, especially in tailwaters and stable water systems. Translation: this little fly earns its parking spot in the box.
How should I fish a Juju Baetis?
Most of the time, fish it subsurface near the bottom or in the lower-to-mid water column under an indicator, as a dropper, or on a tight-line rig. Mayfly nymphs are often most important to trout before and during emergence, and getting the fly drifting naturally near feeding depth beats hero-casting to nowhere.
What makes the Juju Baetis different from a standard mayfly nymph?
The Juju Baetis has a slim, segmented, clean profile that does a great job suggesting a small mayfly nymph without looking bulky or overcooked. That matters when trout are picky, the water is clear, and the naturals are small. It is more “tiny believable snack” than “gas station hot dog with legs.”
What is the best way to fish an unweighted Juju Baetis?
The Juju Baetis is best fished as the small, natural-looking fly in a two-nymph rig. Since it is unweighted, pair it with a heavier nymph, jig fly, or split shot to bring the whole setup down into the trout’s feeding lane.
