I just can't get the hang of nymph fishing at all. I have been ffing for about 8 years now, and most of the times that I catch a fish on a nymph, I feel that the fish must have been severely depressed, and my hook represented the noose to them. I fish with a bobber when nymph fishing. Yep, I said a bobber...red and white plastic, just like when I was a bait-dunker, but really small. After all, a thingamabobber is no different, and I get to adjust my bobber really fast. (It's also fun when the other ffers on the water see it and double take). Last year I finally started getting the whole sub-surface thang, and caught a few who may not have been trying to commit suicide by hook. I can see the use of a bobber.
