WTB new nymph setup, What are you using?

[dpitt]

@Krazo   I put RIO technical eruo nymph line on it and it is thinner with a mono core, however I did not spend much time with the technique/rig,  majority of my time is fishing out of  a boat.  So, on the  4 weight 10'6 inch i "lined up" with floating 5 weight line and fish with an indicator, and depending upon generation will run leaders  up to 18ft,

I haven't really seen any Mo. waters where tight line nymphing would be my choice of methods.  To my mind it's a method better suited to wading relatively fast boulder strewn  freestone streams than to our spring creeks and tailwaters.  It's why I haven't used nymphs much since the late "80s, when I moved back to the Ozarks, using instead the more active soft hackles or dry/emerger type flies. I never learned to fish under a bobber, but observation tells me it's better suited to most of our water than the tight line methods are. I think the nymph should be bouncing on the bottom, and either  the current must be swift enough to keep the weighted fly moving and bouncing or it must be suspended at just the right so that the bobber lets it make occasional contact yet the surface current pulls it up again. Of course I've only been on a few trout streams in Mo, and there must be some that are suited to euronymphing.
