Rs2

How do you fish the RS2? I will be using if for the first time this weekend. I read that it is to be fished like a nymph. If so, with or without weight? By the way, thanks to everyone for always helping me out with my questions.

Fly,

The best way (I have found) to use the RS2 is to use it as the dropper in a tandem rig. It works great near the bottom or in midcurrent. So weight is needed, but depending on the water conditions and depth the amount of weigh to use my vary (I use soft lead so I can take off or put on quickly). I like to have my weight touching the bottom once in a while with this fly on the line.

Good Luck!

I've had my best luck fishing it like a dry when trout are sipping in the shallows. It's tied with CDC and you can see it from far away fishing it like a dry. I wade the sides of the banks and cast up stream, strip the slack line as it comes to you and watch the trout sip it. Great stuff and very stealthy approach. You can cut the wing to be higher so you can see it as well. If fished in the film or deeper cut the wing to be real close to the shank, like it's coming out of the shuck. Good luck, hope this helps you out!!

By the way, this fly is one of the best flies fished when tricking the most pickiest trout. Especially when their feeding on midges and want the adult.
