Mastering the Dead Drift: Indicator Nymphing Simplified and Perfected

Description

The majority of fly fishermen begin nymph fishing using traditional tight-line methods with split shot and no indicator and most early attempts at nymphing are done with rigs of similar modified design. These styles of nymphing are effective on smaller streams. However, many anglers find out when venturing onto larger riversand tailwaters with little gradient, where presenting flies at a distance is necessary to catch trout, that no single nymphing technique fits every situation.
