Another nymph with a difference from Stan, the French Pinkie.
This fly is tied to perfection (as is usual with any of Stan's flies) - and he's been experimenting again!
Let me introduce you to Stan's French Pinkie Nymph Selection, which includes 3 different 2.0mm glass bead colour variations:
- Baby Pink
- Orange; and
- Pearl White
Each nymph is tied with a specialist French Braid body.
Our selection of Stan's French Pinkie Nymphs contains 12 flies - 4 of each colour all tied on Dohiku HD645 size 14 barbless hooks.
A great fly to try at this time of year. This style of nymph is really successful (especially through Autumn and into December) in all of our rivers (and Stillwaters), with Grayling (and Rainbow Trout) gorging on them as they become dislodged. Trundle one of these along the riverbed and hang on!
This nymph imitation is ideally used as a dropper fly in any nymphing setup (and great for sight nymphing in slower flows). Don't forget about using these on stillwaters also - a figure-of-eight retrieve on a floating line keeps them moving naturally. These imitations are all tied on size 14 barbless Dohiku HD645 hooks.
The tying specification for these French Pinkie Nymphs is:
- Fly Name: French Pinkie Nymph
- Hook: Dohiku HD645 N°14 Barbless Buzzer
