Where to Use:

This collection is specifically designed for the Rangitikei River, but it can also be effective in other similar rivers with moderate to fast-flowing water.

Fishing Techniques:

• Nymphing:
  • Dead-drifting: Let the nymph drift naturally with the current.
  • Slow retrieve: Slowly retrieve the nymph, giving it a subtle pulse or jiggle.
  • Fast retrieve: Quickly strip the nymph back to the surface, imitating a fleeing insect.
• Dry Fly Fishing:
  • Dead-drifting: Cast the dry fly upstream and let it drift naturally with the current.
  • Mending: If the current is strong, mend your line to keep the fly in the strike zone.
  • Twitching: Gently twitch the fly to add movement and attract fish.

Tips:

• Match the Hatch: Try to match the size and color of your flies to the insects that are hatching on the water.
• Pay Attention to Water Conditions: Adjust your presentation based on factors like water clarity, current speed, and water temperature.
• Use a Sensitive Rod and Reel: A sensitive setup will help you detect subtle takes.
• Practice Your Casting and Presentation: Accurate casting and precise presentation are key to success.

By understanding the specific characteristics of the Rangitikei River and employing the appropriate fishing techniques, you can increase your chances of catching trout in this world-class fishery.
