River Fishing Basics

[richyd4u]

Everyone is spot on with their advice. Don't allow yourself to overwhelmed with the size of the water you are fishing. Stick to basic patterns/techniques. When fishing bigger waters, compensate by using longer distances from your strike indicator and some extra weight to get your nymph DOWN! If that nymph isn't banging the bottom, you are not in business. Focus on fishing the holes and runs, which typically will hold higher concentrations of fish. The weber is a great river, with lots of big fish to be had. It can also be hit and miss. If I was you, I would hit the Wanship and Coalville sections. Lots of good access and plenty of fish. Good luck, and let us know how you do!
