Advanced Nymphing: Fishing Deep Droppers




The Orvis Fly-Fishing Video Podcast show

Summary: Sometimes the conditions of the water you are fishing and the feeding habits of the trout dictate that you need to present nymphs in a different way. In this segment, Dave Jensen explains when to fish subsurface without an indicator and the tactics for rigging your leader to do so. Using an indicator or dropper dry fly set up can make detecting strikes with your fly rod easier, but the skills learned through no indicator nymphing will help broaden your fly fishing skills, and ultimately lead to more fish caught.
