[VFB] Re: Active Nymphing was QUOTE FOR THE DAY
I love upstream dry fly fishng and in the winter I fish my nymphs this way too. A friend of mine just came back from a course here in the UK and they were shown how the masters of short line nymphing do the job. Your books ref to the stripping the nymph on the lift is how he described the Czech and Polish method of what we call the induced take as originated here by Mr Skues. There is a new (?) method used by these guys that uses long leaders up to 18 or 20 feet long ! At the end of the drift they lift the nymph at a rediculous (to me anyway) speed but it works really well. I have used the same method but with sensible leaders of 10 to 12 feet long. It resulted in a 40cm grayling (thats 16" in proper money) which is big for the UK, on my last trip to the river. SO yes stripping the nymph induces takes from fish so I guess you should try it for a while and compare to your normal slower retrieve. Just my 2pennorth. Cheers Keith PS DonO I am doing the 24hour thing again this year!!! I now work for Orvis UK !!!
