BARBLESS NYMPHS & WET FLIES

BARBLESS NYMPHS & WET FLIES

FISH WHERE TROUT FIND MOST OF THEIR FOOD

While spectacular surface takes make dry fly fishing unforgettable, the vast majority of a trout's feeding activity takes place below the surface. Most aquatic insects spend the greater part of their lives as nymphs or larvae among stones, gravel and aquatic vegetation before eventually emerging. For this reason, nymphs and wet flies remain among the most effective fly patterns throughout almost the entire fishing season.

Whether you're targeting brown trout, rainbow trout, grayling or chub, well-presented nymphs often outfish dry flies whenever fish are feeding beneath the surface. Our collection now includes around 400 barbless nymphs and wet flies and continues to grow with carefully selected new patterns. Alongside proven classics, you'll also discover the latest internationally successful designs for virtually every fishing situation.

WHY NYMPHS CATCH FISH ALL YEAR ROUND

Unlike dry flies, nymphs are not limited to short hatches. They imitate food that fish encounter almost every day. Mayfly, caddisfly and stonefly nymphs often spend many months—or even several years—living underwater, making them a constant part of the diet of trout, grayling and other salmonids. Even when there is no visible surface activity, fish frequently feed actively along the riverbed or intercept drifting insects carried by the current.

That is why nymphs have become some of the most versatile and consistently productive flies for beginners, experienced fly anglers and competition fishermen alike. They perform equally well in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and can be adapted to virtually any water depth or current speed.

THE RIGHT NYMPH FOR EVERY SITUATION

No single nymph can cover every fishing scenario. That's why our range includes an exceptionally broad selection of designs, weights and concepts. From classic Brass Bead Head Nymphs and modern Perdigon Nymphs to Mop Flies, Jig Nymphs, French Nymphs, realistic imitations and specialised grayling patterns, you'll find flies developed for different depths, currents and feeding behaviour.

Our clear category structure makes it easy to find the right pattern while also helping you choose the appropriate weight for the depth you're fishing. In modern nymph fishing, success often depends not only on selecting the right fly but also on how quickly it reaches the desired depth.

WEIGHT, SHAPE AND PRESENTATION WORK TOGETHER

A successful nymph is defined by much more than its colour or silhouette. Weight, bead design, hook geometry and the way the fly behaves in the current all play equally important roles. Heavy tungsten nymphs reach deep runs within seconds, while lighter patterns drift more slowly through the water column, often producing a particularly natural presentation.

Modern Jig Nymphs have also transformed contemporary nymph fishing. Their distinctive design allows them to drift with the hook point facing upwards, significantly reducing snagging on the riverbed. At the same time, this hook orientation often improves hook-up rates while helping the fly withstand repeated contact with the bottom.

MODERN BARBLESS HOOKS FOR CONTEMPORARY FLY FISHING

Every fly in this category is tied on high-quality barbless hooks. They allow fish to be released quickly and with minimal handling and are increasingly required or recommended on many rivers and fisheries. Especially for catch-and-release fishing, they help reduce injuries while minimising the time fish spend out of the water.

Thanks to their elongated, slightly inward-pointing hook point, modern barbless hooks deliver excellent penetration and secure hook holds throughout the fight. With steady line tension and a properly adjusted drag, they perform every bit as reliably as traditional barbed hooks in real fishing situations.

QUALITY THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE BELOW THE SURFACE

A premium nymph offers far more than an attractive appearance. Accurate proportions, premium materials, perfectly fitted tungsten beads, durable tying and balanced sink rates all contribute to natural presentation and long-lasting performance. Only when every element works together does a fly continue to fish effectively after catching numerous trout.

With around 400 barbless nymphs and wet flies, we offer one of the most comprehensive selections for modern nymph fishing. Our range is continuously expanded with new internationally proven patterns, ensuring you'll always find the right flies for every season, every river and every fishing situation.
