Riseley Trout Flies- Frenchie Pheasant Tail Nymph

All Riseley Trout Flies are hand tied in Tasmania to exacting specifications and a high degree of attention to detail, craftsmanship and consistency. Each Riseley Trout Fly in the range is a proven fish catcher so you can be sure they will not just appeal to the angler, but even more importantly, those picky trout. All flies are tied on quality barbless hooks using high end materials.

The Frenchie Pheasant Tail Nymph is a modern evolution of the classic pheasant tail, combining a slim, natural profile with a subtle hotspot to trigger takes from feeding trout. Designed to sink efficiently and drift naturally, it is especially effective when trout are feeding close to the bottom but still respond to a small visual cue.

This pattern excels in euronymphing and other contact nymphing techniques, and also fishes well under an indicator or as part of a two fly rig. A reliable choice for rivers where trout are selective yet active, the Frenchie is a proven performer across a wide range of conditions.
