Advantages and strengths

The Devaux tungsten nymphs stand out for their ability to reach the correct depth quickly, a decisive advantage when fish are hugging the bottom or positioned in strong currents. The realistic profile and restrained finishes provide a natural presentation that does not alarm fish while maintaining excellent attraction. Their versatility makes them a reliable choice across a wide range of conditions, from technical small streams to large regulated rivers. The hook materials and design ensure quick penetration and reliable holding power, reducing lost fish and maximizing hook-up rates.

Usage tips

To get the most from the Devaux PTT 6 Tungsten Nymph Flies, favor thin, consistent tippets to preserve an unhampered drift. In euro-nymphing, adjust the leader to maintain contact without hindering the drift, following the current speed. With an indicator, position it to place the nymph just above the bottom, slightly raising the rod to avoid snags. When sight-fishing, target upstream of the holding fish and let the nymph sink quickly through the water column before controlling the retrieve speed. Vary drift lengths between long and short presentations, and focus on faster seams, oxygenated edges and current heads where rapid sinking makes the difference.

Testimonials

“Tested in spring 2025 on heavily pressured trout, these nymphs stood out for their speed to depth and drift stability. Even in clear water under intense angling pressure, the presentation remains discreet and effective. The hits-to-landed-fish ratio is excellent thanks to the sharp hook and balanced weighting. A must-have to cover marked lies and trigger reluctant fish.”

FAQ
