So, if anyone, or better yet, a bunch of people, want to write out a
short paragraph of how to start - how to rig up, how it's different
than surface fishing, common pitfalls and frustrations, that would be
cool! Just enough info (and hopefully from different people) to get
me in the water, I can spend the whole winter trying to actually
figure it all out. I do have books, but there's obviously a lot
richer info to be had here.


For small waters, I'd recommend starting out with a dropper 12 to 18
inches long, tied off the bend of a dry. Your dry will serve as an
indicator and you'll catch fish on both flies.

yeah, and for confederate fish, i recommend a size 16 prince nymph tied
off the bend of a 12 adams in march/april, and a 16 red fox nymph off the
bend of a 14 royal wulff the rest of the year.

of course, that's from my experience in the old north state. those
snooty *******s in the commonwealth of virginia might not be attracted...

your friend in the old north state
wayno (i mean, why did they call it "pickett's charge", when more than 50%
of the boys were north carolinians, led by jj pettigrew...)
