Description
Frenchie Jig Tungsten is a modern nymph pattern built for precision and fast sink rates, making it a favorite among Euro nymphing enthusiasts. This fly features a slim, streamlined body—typically in natural tones like tan, olive, or pheasant tail—accented with a bright hot spot of pink, orange, or chartreuse. This hot spot acts as a visual trigger that grabs the attention of trout, even in pressured waters.
Tied on a barbless jig hook with a tungsten bead, the Frenchie rides hook-point up to reduce snags and improve hook sets. The bead also ensures the fly quickly drops into the feeding zone, even in fast currents and deep runs.
The Frenchie Jig Tungsten is extremely versatile, imitating a range of aquatic insects, including mayflies and small stoneflies. Whether used as a standalone fly fishing fly or as an anchor in a multi-fly rig, this pattern excels in technical waters, delivering consistent results for anglers targeting selective, bottom-feeding trout.
