FAQ
What makes the 101 Nymph effective in New Zealand rivers?
The heavy tungsten bead and rubber legs provide a natural movement that mimics stonefly nymphs, making it highly effective in New Zealand’s fast-moving rivers.
Is the 101 Nymph suitable for trout fishing in other regions?
While designed for New Zealand rivers, its profile and weight may work well in similar trout habitats with strong current and clear water.
Are there any differences between the #10 and #12 sizes?
The #10 is slightly smaller and lighter, while the #12 is larger and heavier, offering different action depending on water conditions and target species.
Ruth Simpson –
Fished in a New Zealand river and caught several trout with the 101 Nymph. The tungsten bead kept it weighted well, and the rubber legs gave a realistic wiggle. Great for dry, fast water.
Caroline Henderson –
Used the #12 size in a cold stream. It stayed on the surface and triggered strikes. A solid choice for stonefly imitations in fast-moving rivers.

Ordered this for a trip to the South Island. It performed exactly as described—subtle movement and good weight. Caught a large trout on the first cast.
