Not much idea about French nymph but I fished a day  with Jan Siman in the Czech Republic he made sighters from 30lb Airflo orange backing ,its hollow so you can make loops in it.Stands out much better than braided mono, if you dont have anything similar pm me you address ill send you a few yards.
Cheers Colin
