Description

The Pearl Frenchie is a simplified pheasant tail nymph pattern popularized by the French in competition fly fishing and one of the most popular flies used in European style nymphing techniques. Unlike some Euro Nymph patterns that involve UV Resins, colour additives and very specific materials and techniques, this nymph, however, is a relatively no fuss solution that gets the job done.

The Frenchie is a great nymph for Euro or Tight Line nymphing and also can be fished under an indicator. It’s one of those patterns that should be in every fly box, in good quantities, if you want to pick up fish when everything else isn’t working. I find it works especially well as a small point fly on a tandem nymph setup, freely trailing behind a larger, leggy nymph.

Supplied in lots of six (6) flies per hook size.

Of course, if you want to tie this pattern yourself, Troutlore offers a complete materials kit for this pattern. You can find the ‘TieYourOwn’ kit for Pearl Frenchie here.

All flies sold at Troutlore are tied by hand in Australia by Rob from Troutlore, or designated tyers for specific patterns who are noted in the descriptions. This pattern is tied on quality Firehole barbless hooks and using the best materials, the Pearl Frenchie is a great addition to any fly box for all times of the the stream and lake season.

Sizes showing as “In Stock” represent flies that are ready to ship immediately. Any sizes showing as “Available to Backorder” will be tied after completed payment of order. This usually requires a 5-7 day turnaround depending on the current tying queue. Your complete order will be shipped as one after all flies have been tied. We will contact you is further unforeseen delays arise with a fly order.
