Tim, are you saying you don't use a tapered leader to nymph you just tie a piece of mono to your butt end and fish? I was actually just experimenting with something like that on Saturday. I broke off my tapered dry fly leader, which I tie with pieces of Stren, and decided to go back to nymphing. Instead of changing spools to my nymph line I just put one long piece of 5x tippet on and began to nymph. I started to wonder if just using one piece of untapered leader got my nymph down quicker and with less shot. I also felt there was more feel from through my leader to my nymph. What do you think?
