The Dores Depth Control (3.5mm Bead)
The Dores Depth Control allows you to precisely control the sink rate and depth of your fly by selecting an appropriate bead size. A must for New Zealand’s South Island.
The Dore’s Depth Control Nymph range is a highly effective series of weighted nymph patterns designed to get your fly into the strike zone quickly while maintaining a natural drift. These nymphs are ideal for targeting trout in fast-moving rivers, deep pools, and even stillwater environments where precise depth control is essential.

Trevor Jones –
The 3.5mm bead gives excellent depth control in fast rivers. I’ve used it in the South Island and it consistently reaches the right depth without sinking too fast. The drift feels natural and trout are more likely to take it.
Irene King –
Works well in deep pools. The sink rate is predictable and I can adjust it to match the current. A reliable choice for trout fishing in variable conditions.
Wendy Black –
Great for stillwater too. I used it in a quiet lake and it stayed at the right depth. The fly drifts smoothly and I caught several trout in one session.
