Fly fishing for trout on rivers has some inherent advantages over using traditional lures or live bait. During the spring and summer months, trout in fast-moving waters are primarily feeding on bugs. Presenting dry flies, which remain on the surface of the water, has always been a great way to target trout. However, one of the main limitations of this tactic is that it only allows you to target the fish that are coming up to the surface to feed. This is where nymphing comes in. See, before caddisflies and mayflies become the flying bugs that we are familiar with, they live down in the water in a larval or nymph stage. Fish love to feed on these young insects which can be found under rocks, floating downstream, or attached to other objects on the bottom of a river. Most fly fishers are familiar with nymphing as it’s the best way to catch fish when theres no specific hatch happening on the surface.<\/p>\n
