Nymph
French Migrator Tungsten Nymph
Day-pool nymph
Sea troutMid-depth
Heavy tungsten jig nymph developed for daytime sea-trout work on Normandy rivers. Gets to the pool floor fast and drifts slowly past the nose of a holding fish.
Fish this when
Normandy rivers in daylight, deep runs and holding pools where night-fishing isn't permitted or practical.
Why it works
Tungsten + jig hook combine depth and hang time — the two things a fresh-run sea trout in a deep pool demands before it commits.
