Play your Bosnian Joker this autumn.
Here we have a unique pheasant tail nymph selection for you from our man in Bosnia. These Tungsten 'Joker' PTN's are specifically chosen to give you the widest possible choice, no matter which water conditions you face (big and heavy nymphs for the higher water levels, light(ish) for the lower flows).
These flies will work in any conditions and any style of fishing (rivers or stillwaters) - but they excel at any of the short-line disciplines (Euro, French, Spanish etc). This fly selection is available either with (or without) our Slimline Silicone Fly Box.
Every so often, we need a fly (or flies) we can rely on - 'playing your joker' so to speak - well here they are, the Bosnian Joker PTN Selection:
The nymphs included in this selection are:
Peacock Ice PTN
One of the most common nymphs is the Red pheasant tail nymph with peacock dubbing tied on a size 16 barbless hook with a silver 2.5mm tungsten bead. One moment! If peacock dubbing is not enough ... we've also added a Semperfli orange hot-spot covered with Raidzap UV resin. This one is for sure one of the first Jokers I play.

Black Ice PTN
What to say about Black Ice Pheasant Tail. Tied on a size 16 Gamakatsu barbless hook, with a black tungsten bead. This is the first fly I tie on when I'm searching the water.

The Orange hot spot is covered with Raidzap UV medium resin.
