Description

The X-May series of flies started as a combination of the S&M Nymph and the Micro May. Lance prefers to tie the X-May with the wire holding in the tail and gill plate while at the same time creating the ribbed body. This allows a fast and durable body to be made. The olive color was the original and then he added brown, black, and red.

Lance's X-May will work in most waters throughout the West. With the slim profile and the bead, these nymphs get down into the trout's strike zone. Some of the patterns are designed to imitate specific hatches, such as the PMD, and others are general all-purpose nymphs.
