The Troutline Tactical TLN4 Frenchie Pheasant Nymph (we call it Jolly Jocker pheasant tail) is a premier searching and stimulative pattern, specifically designed for Euro Nymphing and Dynamic Nymphing techniques. Its olive-brown tones and realistic pheasant tail fibers make it highly effective in triggering strikes from picky trout and grayling, especially when water is clear and presentation must be subtle.


Key Benefits

  • Natural Imitation
    Olive and brown pheasant tail fibers closely mimic drifting, vulnerable nymphs. This “Frenchie” variant stimulates aggressive takes by suggesting both movement and vulnerability.

  • Fast, Bottom-Oriented Sink Rate
    Tungsten beads ensure the fly drops quickly into faster currents, keeping it in the strike zone near the riverbed where trout feed.

  • Versatile in Many Waters
    Use it in alpine streams, spring creeks, or larger rivers. Its subdued coloration and realistic profile work equally well for trout in cold mountain water or grayling in spring creeks.

  • Barbless, Fish-Friendly Design
    Tied on high-quality barbless hooks, this nymph minimizes harm to fish and simplifies unhooking—perfect for catch-and-release anglers.


Technical Details

  • Size & Bead

    • Size #14 with 3 mm tungsten bead

    • Size #16 with 2.5 mm tungsten bead

  • Materials

    • Body: Pheasant tail fibers wrapped with fine copper wire ribbing for durability and subtle flash

    • Bead: Tungsten for rapid sink

    • Thorax: Olive or brown dubbing to add bulk and lifelike shape

    • Hook: Premium barbless hook in nymph shape for secure hook-sets and easy release

  • Hand-Tied Quality
    Each fly is meticulously tied using high-grade materials, guaranteeing consistent weight, balance, and overall performance.


How to Fish It

  1. Rigging for Euro & Dynamic Nymphing
    Attach to a thin leader (4X–6X) and use a light-weight rod. The tungsten bead quickly sinks the fly, so keep your line tight and detect subtle pickups.

  2. Depth Control
    Strip off a few feet of line and allow the Frenchie to sink to the riverbed. Aim for a drag-free drift just above gravel or cobble, where trout usually feed.

  3. Vary Retrieve Speed
    If fish seem hesitant, try a slow, steady retrieve. For more aggressive strikes, introduce occasional quick twitches to impart slight movement—mimicking a nymph jostled by current.
