Choosing the Right Colour for Fishing Conditions
- Green Stonefly Nymph (FFP18PG): Effective in vegetated and stained water, blending naturally with the environment while still visible to fish.
- Black Stonefly Nymph (FFP18PB): Best in clear water with bright sunlight, where the dark colour creates a strong contrast against the riverbed.
If you are going to be fishing in different conditions a mixed black and yellow pack is also available (FFP18PBG)
Best Conditions for Using Stonefly Nymph Flies
These flies are most effective in clear, fast-flowing rivers where stonefly nymphs are a natural food source. After rainfall, trout actively feed on dislodged nymphs, making this an ideal time to use them. The colour choice should be adjusted based on water clarity and light conditions.
Effective Fishing Techniques
- Euro Nymphing / Czech Nymphing: Best for fast-moving waters where trout hold near the bottom.
- Indicator Nymphing: Detects subtle bites in deeper water.
- Dropper Rig: Pair with a lighter fly like a mayfly nymph for increased success.
Top Fishing Locations in New Zealand
- Tongariro River: Well-known for its trout population, best fished after fresh rainfall.
- Waikato River: Clear stretches provide excellent nymphing conditions.
- Lake Rotorua Streams: Stoneflies are abundant, making this lure highly effective.
- South Island Backcountry Rivers: Crystal-clear waters ensure excellent visibility for trout.
- Waitaki River: Large brown trout feed aggressively on nymphs in this region.
