Zach Bearden Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Personally, I love to fish nymphs without indicators. To me, being able to see my line move and respond accordingly and dancing a trout from a hole has a certain mystique about it. What's yours? "Its clearly Bree time baby!"

Trout Commander Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I currently indicator nymph. I am in the process of teaching my self to nymph without the indicator and attempting to become proficient with dries as well. I have spent most of my money on fly fishing and beer. The rest I just wasted. The latest Trout Commander blog post: Niangua River Six Pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trout fanatic Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I fish all of the methods shown-but my favorite is downstream wets. Trying to figure out all of the varying current speeds and how it will effect your fly delivery is all part of the fun (and I still have a ways to go yet). Pretty dang satisfying when you figure it out just right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stlfisher Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I chose nymphing with an indicator as well. It is the technique I am the most "proficient" with so it gets my vote. I am getting better a dry fly fishing, and while still refining and learning, it is by far my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopper Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 It's a toss up between streamers at night and small dries with a small#20-24 midge dropper. Both ways really improve your skills. Is it the weekend yet? The gods do not deduct from man's allotted span the hours spent in fishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdmidwest Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 How do you "like to fish" or "which method do you fish most often"? I like to fish dry flies upstream every chance I catch a rise or a situation that warrants the fly. For the majority of the time, it is nymphing under an indicator. Then there is streamers or wet flies. I always enjoy the strike on the top the most. "Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously." — Hunter S.

I like to fish dry flies upstream every chance I catch a rise or a situation that warrants the fly. For the majority of the time, it is nymphing under an indicator.

There's a fine line between fishing and sitting there looking stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Dries upstream in fast water makes for an exciting bite, not to mention sight fishing for risers. Nymphing with an indicator and streamers for the aggressive impulse bite. If fishing was easy it would be called catching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighPlainsFlyFisher Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Nothing gets the blood pumping and the hands shaking like watching a nice brown chase a streamer halfway across a pool only to swipe at it twice and have the guy with the rod in his hand pull it away from him cause he got too excited. Anyway that's how it usually works for me , gotta love that streamer fishing......Jeff http://highplainsflyfisher.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
