CdC Red-Neck Tungsten Pupa

The inspiration for these Specialist Tungsten Nymphs came from our existing Tungsten Nymph Selection - which are by far our best-selling nymphs for both Trout & Grayling. These patterns work exceptionally well using the Euro Nymphing style - try putting a size 10 or 12 on the dropper with a size 16 on the point in a really heavy flow - that way you can fish both Tungsten jigs close to the riverbed.

These flies are tied with either silver, gold or gunmetal tungsten beads:

  • Size 10 - 4.0mm
  • Size 12 - 3.6mm
  • Size 14 - 3.2mm; and
  • Size 16 - 2.6mm

Each of these specialist tungsten nymphs has been tied on the super-strong barbless AHREX FW541 barbless nymph hook.

The best fly for the river? This style of fly probably accounts for more fish than any other flies I use. It represents a wide range of river nymphs and is ideal for both Trout & Grayling. Fished on its own or as a part of a duo (New Zealand Rig), this fly is deadly.

Each of the tungsten jig nymphs weighs as follows:

  • Size 10 - 0.60g
  • Size 12 - 0.36g
  • Size 14 - 0.24g
  • Size 16 - 0.16g

Here's a quick description of each nymph:

CdC Red-Neck Brown - Tied with a Brown woven body, sparse CdC collar (to trap air and imitate the ascending nymph), a red thread neck and topped off with a copper-coloured tungsten bead.

CdC Red-Neck Grey - Tied with a Grey woven body, sparse CdC collar (to trap air and imitate the ascending nymph), a red thread neck and topped off with a silver-coloured tungsten bead.

CdC Red-Neck Olive - Tied with an Olive woven body, sparse CdC collar (to trap air and imitate the ascending nymph), a red thread neck and topped off with a gunmetal-coloured tungsten bead.
