Continued from page 1

Let’s start atrepparttar basics. Nymphs are, as defined byrepparttar 133067 Meriam-Webster dictionary : “any of various immature insects; especially : a larva of an insect (as a grasshopper, true bug, or mayfly) with incomplete metamorphosis that differs fromrepparttar 133068 imago especially in size and in its incompletely developed wings and genitalia”

In everyday terms, nymphs are aquatic insects that are still in their underwater stage, as in not yet having reached their adult, or flying stage of life. One thing worth remembering is that, if you enjoy dry fly fishing, allrepparttar 133069 flies you see onrepparttar 133070 water are adult insects. These insects have “grown up” from their underwater stage and have taken torepparttar 133071 air for their mating rituals. In essence, dry fly fishing involves using fly imitations that involve imitations ofrepparttar 133072 adult aquatic insect (such as a mayfly, caddis fly or stonefly). By contrast, when nymph fly fishing,repparttar 133073 angler attempts to imitaterepparttar 133074 younger, underwater stage of these exact same flies.

Written by Brett Fogle


Continued from page 1

Strikes on a nymph fished in this manner can occur anytime sincerepparttar nymph is floating drag free. Always followrepparttar 133066 strike indicator using this method, settingrepparttar 133067 hook immediately whenever you seerepparttar 133068 strike indicator stop momentarily inrepparttar 133069 water or suddenly change direction. With practice, you’ll get a feel for what differentiates a “rock strike” from a “trout strike”.

Also, don’t be in to big a hurry to pick uprepparttar 133070 nymph. You can let it float right down almost to your feet (within 5-10 feet), assuming you didn’t make too much of a commotion during your wading (thus scaring away allrepparttar 133071 fish near you). Remember, trout will be facing againstrepparttar 133072 current waiting for their food to arrive – and you’ll be downstream from them. Thus, they won’t see you unless you make lots of noise to let them know that you are there.

The other reason you wantrepparttar 133073 nymph to continue floating towards you is because you want to nymph to come up fromrepparttar 133074 bottom ofrepparttar 133075 river a bit – which simulates an emerging insect. Asrepparttar 133076 nymph gets closer to you, simply raiserepparttar 133077 rod tip a bit. This will bringrepparttar 133078 nymph offrepparttar 133079 bottom ofrepparttar 133080 river and put it in a gradual, but still downstream, incline towardsrepparttar 133081 surface.

Once you pick uprepparttar 133082 fly, you will then want to wade just a bit to your right or left, then make another cast, allowingrepparttar 133083 nymph to dead drift through another spot inrepparttar 133084 river that is just a bit away from where your nymph previously floated through. By doing things this way, you can cover a lot of water in a hurry – in a very effective manner.
