A new range of euro nymphs is slowly dropping on the website based on my last few years of competition fishing. The flies will be sold in bead sizes 2.5, 3, 3.5 and 4mm rather than hook size. Instead, they are tied on the smallest barbless jig hook that will match the bead, generally 12 to 16 or 14 to 18, depending on the fly. The idea is to carry the range of bead sizes to be able to fish exactly at the depth you need to. This is the first of about 10 or so patterns to come, so keep an eye on the website.

The orange tag nymph is built from competition-proven concepts and has been fished extensively in New Zealand’s rivers.
