Bosnian Fazanov Nymph Selection

Our 'man in Bosnia' has been at it again - with some more very tempting nymphs - especially tied for success in September and October.

We try to plan all of our fly selection at least 3 months in advance, when asked what we were planning for the end of the river trout season, we wanted to do something a little different, so we asked him to surprise us and tie something which he would use himself on rivers and stillwaters, for Trout, Grayling and Softmouth Trout in Bosnia.

His reply was "I will tie you a few secret nymph patterns, which are the first I try on any waters in September and October, they're called a Fazanov nymph" - this had us intrigued, we had no photos to go on, so we trusted his judgement and said, "go for it".

The specialist hook used is the AHREX Short Shank Barbless Dry hook:

• Hook Size: 18
• Hook Length: 8.28mm
• Hook Gape: 3.60mm
• Wire Diameter: 0.45mm
• Finish: Blak Nickel

Our Bosnian Fazanov Nymph Selection contains 12 nymphs (4 different colours, 3 of each all tied on AHREX FW505 barbless hooks in a size 18).

"Fazanov" is the Bosnian for Pheasant - these Bosnian Fazanov Nymphs are all tied on AHREX FW525 Superdry size 18 barbless hooks.

This selection of 12 Fazanov nymphs includes 4 different colours, 3 each of the following:

• Fluoro Green Fazanov Nymph (Raidzap Flex Fl. Green)
• Fluoro Pink Fazanov Nymph (Raidzap Flex Fl. Pink)
• Fluoro Orange Fazanov Nymph (Raidzap Flex Fl. Orange)
• Black Fazanov Nymph (Raidzap Black Widow)

These specialist Trout & Grayling nymphs are all tied on Size 18 AHREX FW505 Short Shank barbless hooks.

So what nymphs are best for tempting those later season trout (and early grayling)?

Usually, trout look to nymphs when feeding in the later season/colder water as the dry fly action tends to dramatically reduce as the water temperature cools. These smaller nymphs have been tied to fish as naturally as possible, with the UV resin adding a small amount of weight - keeping your nymph where it needs to be.

Late-season nymph fishing is more about finding the fish, so it's important to keep on the move and only pass your nymphs through a lane a couple of times (see below) - if there's a fish there they will usually take it straight away.

Top Tip: if you are fishing in coloured water, use the Fluorescent Green or Orange Fazanov Nymph.
