    Default Two nymphs and foul-hooking trout

    I've been fishing two nymphs, a #12 pheasant tail (weighted) and a #20 caddis emerger (no weight) below it, tied to the shank of the #12.

    Fishing water from 4 feet to 1.5 feet with an 8 foot leader and no strike indicator. Standing in middle of river, facing opposite bank, casting upstream and letting set-up drift by and below me.

    Strikes have been hard--tip of floating line is pulled in obvious fashion. I'm snagging fish on the unweighted fly in their sides and even in the tail.

    What do I need to change?
