    Default TIPS ON FISHING BIG NYMPHS - Eye of the Guide - March 22, 2010

    TIPS ON FISHING BIG NYMPHS

    I remember the first time I traveled to Yellowstone Country to try my luck during the salmon fly hatch. (It is indeed a painful memory.) At 8:00 A.M. I strolled into the local tackle shop to ask what section of river the "hatch" was on and what patterns they suggested I use. You know, the normal questions asked by anglers when traveling to fish water outside of their home area.

    Tom, great article. Brought back fond, yet painful memories of my beginner days on the Box Canyon. I was fairly new to flyfishing, and completely new to nymphing. It was strictly tight-line, no indicators then. We fished the rocks near where the new powerplant is located and I caught some fish on Bitch Creek nymphs my friend had tied. I was hooked for sure, but I sure came home a mess. Holes in my jacket, blood on my scalp and some painful bruises, all in the name of learning how to 'lob' a weighted nymph-rig. Great memories for sure. Thanks for sharing.

    Kelly.
    Tight Lines,
