The RS2 is an emerger, but is also very effective fished as a nymph. The inventor of the RS2, Rim Chung, since inventing this pattern, has never fished another fly, and is always the guy on the river catching all the fish!
An olive RS2 is a great fly to have when gray RS2s are not doing the trick. Excellent baetis imitation. The slender shape offered by Discount Flies is important - wide body RS2s offered by others don't catch as many fish.
must have this pattern.

don't know what it is about this little pattern, but it really does work. trout see it and want to eat it. If you can drift this past a trout, he'll take it. I have had many days where I get hit after hit on this bug and nothing else will work.
