Rivfly Tungsten Frenchie Fly – Barbless Euro Jig Nymph
Rivfly Tungsten Frenchie Fly – Barbless Euro Jig Nymph
The #1 Competition Pattern for Picky Trout
SKU:TJNH-14-PIN-6P
Key Features
- The "Frenchie" Advantage: A competition-proven variation of the classic Pheasant Tail. The fluorescent "Hot Spot" collar triggers aggressive reaction strikes from trout that ignore standard flies.
- Fast Sinking Tungsten: Features a premium gold tungsten bead that cuts through the water column instantly, getting your fly into the strike zone faster than brass beads.
- Snag-Free Jig Design: Tied on a 60-degree jig hook, this fly rides "hook point up." This allows you to drift along the river bottom—where the big fish live—with significantly fewer snags.
- Barbless & Secure: The chemically sharpened, barbless claw point penetrates effortlessly for a solid hook set and allows for quick, fish-friendly releases.
- Durable Construction: Reinforced with a wire-ribbed body and natural fiber tail to withstand toothy trout and rocky riverbeds.

Stop Guessing. Start Catching with the Frenchie.
If you could only carry one nymph pattern for the rest of your life, many professional guides would choose the Frenchie Fly. Why? Because it simply works everywhere.
Originating from the world of competitive fly fishing, the Rivfly Tungsten Frenchie is a modernized, lethal version of the classic Pheasant Tail Nymph. We’ve stripped away the legs (which slow down sinking) and added a vibrant "Hot Spot" collar that acts as a target for curious trout.
Why It’s a Must-Have:
- Versatility: Imitates mayfly nymphs, caddis pupae, or general aquatic life.
- Depth: The tungsten bead and slim profile drop like a stone, perfect for Euro Nymphing (Esn) or running under a dry fly (Dry-Dropper).
- Efficiency: The barbless jig hook keeps you fishing, not untangling snags from the bottom.
Whether you are fishing a technical tailwater or a fast mountain creek, the Frenchie is your confidence fly.
