Just wonder how all of you guy fish your nymphs. I am thinking i am doing it the stupid way but i catch a decent amout of fish. Basically i have my float attached to my tapered leader and leave about 1.5 times the water depth and then my fly. I place a splitshot (if necessary) at the water depth. If i use 2 nymphs i place the shot up a little bit.
I dont like to fish nymphs without a little float. I enjoy the excitment of watching it go under more than watching them take a dryfly. Call me weird.
My problem though is when i am fishing a deep hole no matter what mend i put in my line it seems like the trout are hitting my nymph but the float is too far down stream for me to notice quick enough.
I tried to hold my tip up higher, cast up stream. Stand in the middle of the creek and strip my line to get a good drift. but it seems like the nymph is too far up stream.
Any suggestions on what i am doing wrong. I catch fish like this but i know i miss double what i catch. any insight will help. thanks.
Hope you like the miniature chromer i attached. ;-)
