Leading the Innovation in Trout Nymphing

Our experience fishing difficult conditions has been that you can cast over a good trout more times than with other systems without alerting the fish. With that delicate presentation you will get more chances at more fish. (Hooking and landing them is your job.)

Our indicator system and pure 100% wool gives you a perfectly natural float without the challenge of knots and more places for the line to break off. The ease of use, with the gentle and natural presentation can give you more fishing time with less fussing with your line.

NZSI Tips: Recommended Accessories

After dedicating decades of seasons stalking and fishing for trout, an angler refines his shed (or vest/pack) to just the sharpest tools. Like many others, we have come to depend on the following accessories in our nymphing pursuits. Without having these items in my pack, I feel incomplete and unsettled, as they are not only the best in their respective categories, they also trascend their primary use. These tools also complement the New Zealand Strike Indicator and is why we have decided to offer them to our customers.

Loon Outdoors Aquel® Fly Floatant While our New Zealand Wool floats better than any other we've used (including synthetics), it floats longer and higher when treated with Aquel. This has long been our #1 dry fly floatant, and it makes sense that it also keeps our wool dry and performing at its peak. Buy a tube and see for yourself.

Dr. Slicks's Scissor Clamps These clamps are unparalleled in this category, and the matte black finish is paramount in keeping your presense stealthy. They trim your indicators perfectly - "nice and neat". We like the indicators trimmed neatly as they cast better - show strikes better - float higher. The clamps also work great at mashing the barbs down and for releasing fish. We always fish barbless - never had a problem losing fish and that one time a year when you hook yourself or your fishing partner - the barbless hook slides right out!

Dr. Slick's Offset Nippers By now you have probably noticed that we like Dr. Slick's products. The matte black finish reduces glare - (keep your silver watch band at home) - we have seen fish spook when approached by an angler 30 yards away - the angler's silver watch band was glimmering in the sun! Don't under estimate how large and experienced trout know to avoid "flashy" anglers. The more stealthy your approach - the more large fish you will have shots at. Offset Nippers are also our favorite as they are designed to work well when cutting tight to flies and snipping tag ends of tippet without cutting hackles or materials. All nippers are made from 420 J2 Japanese stainless steel.
