Small Weights for Nymph Fishing
The second thing you’ll need for many rivers will be some small weights to add to your fly line or leader. In many, if not most nymph fly fishing situations, a floating line is still used. However, to get fly down to depth you want it to go will require weighting it (at least in faster water).
This is best done with newer “twist on” non-toxic weights that are now available. Using these types of weights, an angler can put on as much or as little weight as needed to bring fly down to depth, while at same time preventing fish from inhaling toxic lead (which can kill them).
Should you plan on fishing in really deep or fast rivers where even a weighted leader will not get fly down to depth fast enough, then you will also want to look at investing in a sink-tip fly line. Sink-tip fly lines have tip of fly line weighted to sink, thus allowing it to sink nymph fly more quickly.
Fly Fishing Sunglasses for Nymph Fishing
Another item of heavy importance is a good pair of polarized sunglasses. It’s absolutely imperative that you be able to see strike indicator, and polarized sunglasses are very effective for this.
