Advantages and product strengths

The LTT 2 series relies on a very high-density tungsten bead, ideal for quickly reaching deep seams without multiplying false casts. This rapid deployment increases effective fishing time in the fish-holding zone, noticeably improving the strike-to-fish conversion rate. The profiled body promotes a stable drift that faithfully imitates the movement of a natural prey, reducing refusals. The strength of the hook and the durability of the materials provide reliable performance during repeated fights with powerful trout or grayling. The overall balance of the fly limits line twist and ensures a discreet presentation, decisive in technical fishing conditions. Finally, the versatility of its design makes it effective across a wide range of flows, from fast streams to medium rivers and slower margins.

Usage tips

To get the best from the Devaux LTT 2 tungsten nymphs, favor a natural drift with a high rod, controlling the line to keep a light contact without hindering the fly. In indicator nymphing, adjust depth by changing the length of the tippet and the drift angle to graze the bottom without snagging. In sight nymphing, place the fly slightly upstream of the target and accompany the descent with minimal, small animations if necessary. On strong currents, step forward half a pace and work in parallel strips to methodically cover the water seam. Use tapered leaders finished with quality fine tippets to maximize stealth and improve penetration in the water column. A short but firm hookset at the slightest hesitation of the sighter or stop of the drift significantly increases success rates.
