The orange tag nymph is built from competition-proven concepts and has been fished extensively in New Zealand’s rivers. The fly is an attractor pattern designed to trigger quick reflex strikes. Combining two high-visibility visual cues—a metallic pink bead and a bright orange tail tag—this pattern creates maximum contrast underwater. It excels when targeting rainbow trout, particularly in cold water, deep runs, or turbulent pocket water. About This Range of Euro Nymphing Flies Every fly in this range is tied on barbless jig hooks with slotted tungsten beads. The flies are sold by bead size — because getting to the right depth is the most critical factor in euro nymphing. Tied on the smallest hook the bead will match (12-18 depending on fly), the compact profiles keep things natural, help entice wary fish, and maximise sink rates so your fly gets into the zone fast.
