Polish Nymphing Technique

[riverdog]

A small percentage of the time I'm sight fishing but the rest I rely on feeling the strike. From sight casting I can tell you the majority of strikes are pretty easy to detect. The more subtle strikes take some getting used to and when in doubt at all I still react as if it where a strike (just as I would do if fishing any other way except dries in daylight). I'm sure I do miss a few. A smaller weight rod and practice are key. When fishing this way I use my 2,3 & 4 wt rods depending on where I'm fishing. I do find it hard to hook fish with the 2 wt rod sometimes so I usually reserve that for places the fish are small and and overly eager.
