The best way to nymph fish is to go buy a spinning rod.

Just saw this post. That's probably how they do it in California, but I'd love
to see you cast a nymph with a spinning rod. Oh, yeah, I forgot....you spin
fishers do have that bubble thingy that you use. Not really sporty, however,
dontcha think? It ain't allowed on the waters I fish, and I doubt it would
work.

Why would it not work? Fly suspended on mono under a bobber. Whether
it's a plastic bubble or them fist-sized hunks o' yarn ya'll call
indicators on the Rapid--what's the difference?

First fish I ever caught on a fly was a brim from a drainage canal on a
#14 light Cahill wet under a red and white plastic bobber, using a
closed face Zebco reel and I can't remember what sort of cheapo rod.
