Hello Everyone,
Not really new here, just returning after a while. I was on the water the other day, continuing my efforts at becoming a better nymph fisherman, and I realized that depth-wise, my set up and confidence seemed limited to depths of at least a foot and a half to a max of three feet or so. I hope this doesn't sound strange, but any shallower and I feel like my rig was not working the way I needed it to, and deeper I felt like there was too much line between my indicator and my flies to tell me what I needed it to tell me. In shallower water I get the feeling that the flies are getting too bounced around by the bottom for the indicator to tell me much either. I suppose then my questions are as follows:
1. Do you feel that nymphing has an "optimal depth" range for your own preferences?
2. How do you alter your nymph rig and technique for shallower runs or deeper pools?
Thanks all!
