I grew up dry fly fishing and wet fly fishing with wooly buggers on wet sinking line. Picked up jig nymphing for about 6 years now and the one major thing that wasn’t necessarily mentioned in this video is the importance of constantly adjusting your leader and tippet length. As you fish different runs, you need to lengthen or shorten your tippet. It’s not ideal to maintain the same length setup for your entire day on the river. When your setup is too long, there’s too much drag, leading to a bad drift and not being able to feel the take. If it’s too short, your fly rig won’t get down. Another is tying nymphs with varying weights. Your fly cannot be too heavy, especially in slower water. At the same time, it has to be heavy enough to get down deep. I fish a stream that has controlled flows. The river is basically releasing 150cfs, 700cfs or 1150cfs and I tie the same pattern with appropriate lead wraps incorporated.

No video can replace time on the river (or lake), grinding it out. You will be a better angler to learn most of your lessons on the water. These videos can cut a couple of tough days off the curve, though. I was lucky enough to learn in a river that had 0 pressure and a lot of fish. Nice combination for a beginner because you will catch fish. I remember my reality check for sure. Luckily, I knew how to cast and more or less what the fish liked by then.

Hi Simon. Great to see you still doing well, and making fishing more productive for countless people. You wont remember me, but I once had an hour with you (in the Sportfish @ Theale days) to learn your Snake roll cast. This cast has saved me so much effort over the years, particularly on the Tay/Spey. I once worked out how many casts (roughly) in a weeks fishing in Scotland.....its quite an amazing number. The Snake Roll has made this effortless whilst shooting right across the river at Tulchan for example. Thank you, thank you Simon, from one of your greatest fans. 😉

A lot of information here and little that I have ever done with subsurface fishing. If I am fly fishing I really want to be dry fly fishing. Subsurface is the alternative I had hoped would not be necessary. Just a personal preference. I have never bought gear specifically for subsurface and dont recall ever nymphing up stream. I just dont want to work that hard while fishing. If you're doing it I might sit down and watch but I'm too lazy. I do recommend getting hooks and some pheasant tail feathers and learning to tie Teeny nymphs. This solves a lot of technical mistakes.

Nice video Simon! However I find the description of the down downstream drift to be a bit misleading . It suggests that a lagging indicator is a dragging indicator! This is far from the truth the nymphs drifting on the bottom are traveling at the speed of the bottom current which is far slower than the top current, your indicator should always travel slower than the bubbles/current on top if you want your nymphs to drift naturally with the speed of the bottom current.

So my fly shop is saying to set my indicator 1.5X the depth of the water to the weight (Assuming the split shot tied at your where yout tippet connects?) . Does this make sense? Then its Another 12-18 inches to my lead fly then another 10-12 inches to my dropper fly.

The point fly doesn’t have to be the heaviest as you say. A lighter point fly can flutter about behind the heavier one, or then subtract the indicator and you’re closer to a traditional form of nymphing for some regions.
@vf12497439 Жыл бұрын
I think the drop fly being heavier as a suggestion helps new anglers to keep their setup from becoming a tangled mess until they have learned to control the line during a cast.

The only thing i needed more from this excellent introduction is when and why to change patterns and heights? Increase the line below the indicator until you’re occasionally strinking bottom: 1 in 5 casts give or take? How many casts through a productive looking pool until it’s time to change a fly to a different pattern or size? Which to select if you’re not sure on what insects are down there? Split shot 6 inches up from the furthest fly right?
