Description

The France Fly Jig, developed by Hunter Hoffler, emerged from competitive fly fishing circuits, particularly during the World Championships in France. This Euro-style nymph features a slim profile and durable materials, allowing it to sink rapidly and effectively imitate small mayfly nymphs, making it a staple in modern nymphing techniques.

Pro Tip

When fishing the France Fly Jig, use it as the anchor fly in a euro-nymphing setup to take advantage of its weight and fast-sinking profile. Drift it through deep runs and fast currents where other flies struggle to reach the strike zone.
