- Fishing Techniques.
The Prince Chartreuse Head Tungsten Nymph is best used in fast-flowing streams and rivers where trout are actively feeding. To maximise effectiveness, employ a dead-drift presentation by casting upstream and allowing the fly to drift naturally with the current. This technique mimics the natural movement of nymphs in the water. Use a strike indicator to detect subtle takes.
For retrieves, try a slow hand-twist or short, sharp strips to imitate an emerging insect. Fish this fly near the bottom where nymphs are typically found, using a weighted leader or additional split shot if necessary to ensure it reaches the desired depth.

Key Seasons - when is this

Tungsten Bead Head Nymph Trout Fly

most effective?
The Prince Chartreuse Head Tungsten Nymph is most effective during spring and autumn when trout are actively feeding. In spring, as water temperatures rise, insect activity increases, making this fly ideal during mayfly and caddis hatches. Autumn sees trout preparing for winter, so they are more aggressive, and the fly's bright chartreuse head can trigger strikes.
Use it in clear, fast-flowing streams or rivers, especially after rain when water levels rise, as the tungsten bead helps it sink quickly to reach feeding trout. Avoid using it in summer's low, warm waters where trout are less active.

How does the Turrall Prince Chartreuse Head Tungsten Nymph Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Prince Chartreuse Head Tungsten Nymph is designed to mimic the nymph stage of aquatic insects, particularly stoneflies and mayflies, which are a crucial part of a trout's diet. During the nymph stage, these insects dwell near the riverbed, making them accessible to fish. The fly's weighted tungsten head ensures it sinks quickly, reaching the depths where nymphs are found. The chartreuse colour adds visibility, attracting trout. Fish target these nymphs as they are rich in nutrients and abundant, especially during emergence when they become more active and vulnerable, providing an easy meal.
