Wing cases: Brown speckled partridge.

Though this imitates New Zealand’s pepper-winged olive, it will take trout in rivers on the other side of the planet. It is very good when the water has a slight peat tinge. The same can also be said of the following – another New Zealand pattern.

RED-TIPPED GOVERNOR

Hook: Nymph, sizes 12–14.

Thread: Black.

Tails: Dyed red hackle fibres.

Abdomen: Red floss.

Thorax: Peacock herl.

Wing cases: Hen pheasant tail slip (dark section).

Legs: Few fibres red hen hackle.

FAISAN ET ORANGE (ORANGE AND PHEASANT)

Hook: Wet fly, 10–12.

Thread: Brown.

Tails: Tips of about 5 cock pheasant tail fibres.

Underbody: Copper wire.

Body: Orange floss.

Rib: Finest oval gold tinsel.

Shellback: About 10 cock pheasant tail fibres.

Besides trout and grayling, this nymph, by Raymond Rocher, has also accounted for several Atlantic salmon.

The next four are New Zealand patterns and imitate upwinged fly nymphs found in the rivers there. They can also be usefully used in North American and European streams and lakes, as they match several natural nymphs in those continents.

Thread: Brown.

Tails: Grey partridge fibres dyed yellow.

STRIPED NYMPH

Hook: Nymph, sizes 12–16.

Thread: Black.

Tails: Pale ginger or honey hen hackle fibres.

Abdomen: Stripped peacock quill (the best marked come from the ‘eye’ feather).

Thorax: Hare’s ear.

Wing cases: Grey mallard quill slip.

Legs: Ginger hen hackle fibres.

SEPIA NYMPH

Hook: Nymph, sizes 12–14.
