Egan's Black Thread Frenchie
Lance - June 2023
The Thread Frenchie is an established producer, and is most well known in the olive version. This is the same pattern platform in a darker color combo. Still a dense, durable, fast sinking nymph perfect to hang below a dry fly, fish on an indicator rig, or enable a euro rig to get down to where the fish live. The contrast between the black body and orange hotspot ensures an easily seen pattern that Trout can't resist. Tie a few and put them to use on your favorite rig.
