BUY MATERIALS ONLINE: https://amzn.to/3f6ORcB

The Baetis Maximus is a tiny little Baetis Nymph with an extended body. The extended body is made by using Maxima Chameleon. This little fly does look tricky, but once you master a couple….it is actually pretty simple. The Baetis Maximus does not have to be tiny (like the #22 we tied in the video). The Baetis Maximus can be tied in larger sizes like #16 and #18, and in other colors too. A fun little fly to tie, and a very good way to get a realistic extended body on such a small fly!!
