How To Nymph Faster Water Without Losing Flies | Ep. 166

About this episode

How often do you set up your nymph rig, ready to hit the water, only to realize that your flies are moving WAY faster than you wanted. You didn't think the water would be that fast, or that deep! 

The fix is simple, right? Just put on some split shot, increase the distance between your bobber and your flies, and you'll be in business. 

Well, that all depends on how much split shot you use, how fast the water's moving, and how heavy your flies are. Too much split shot, and you'll be losing your flies - and all your patience - in every snag. 

So, today on Untangled, you'll learn the foundational principles, and our favorite rig, for nymphign faster water WITHOUT losing flies! 

You'll also learn about: 

  • How to know what flies to use throughout an entire day on the water
  • The rigs Spencer uses and recommends for fly fishing in lakes
  • How to effectively fish a streamer on a 5-weight instead of a 6-weight
  • How to set the right depth to keep your nymphs in the strike zone
