Nymphs how to fish

I disagree with this. In general, deeper is harder, but I believe you can
successfully fish nymphs below an indicator much deeper than a foot or
two.



The indicator that I've had the best success with was the orange fly line
stuff that you pulled off the core and slid up on the leader ... sometimes
I'd use two or three apaced out so that one could sink out of view in deep
holes and the other still be seen. I fished this much like Sandy says,
trying to keep a tight line, and with the jitters. This type indicator is
not a 'float'

I guess they stopped making this type of indicator as I haven't been able to
find them in several years.


Later Sandy wrote

Everybody fishes the way they
like to fish. But it is important to have all
the important information.


These days, I either sight nymph to visible fish, or I fish nymphs trailing
slightly behind dries but high in the water column, in the early parts of
hatches. I carry yarn and 'fish pimps' but I just can't 'get involved'
when I use them. Rather than getting into that lovely timeless state, in
the moment now, that I associate with fishing, I find it very difficult to
concentrate or become immersed ( mentally not Reid style ).

You can get them from a company called Flyfisher's Paradise

http://www.flyfishersparadise.com

See, for example, this thread on their discussion board:
