Tips on Using Wet Flies and Nymphs
When fishing a dry fly on a stream it is of great importance that the fly is not allowed to drag, but what about when fishing wet flies and nymphs ? There are conflicting sources of information on this subject. Some say that a drag should be avoided, whereas others say that they it is ok to drag. Also is it best to fish them casting upstream or downstream ?
Both ways are correct ways of fly fishing nymphs, Fly fishing anglers will do both. The general way is to cast up stream and then let them drag and flow, however this method doesn't work for all anglers on all rivers, often it depends on the type of nymph . A weighted tungsten headed nymph is better fished closer to the bottom and allowed to drift, however an un-weighted pheasant tail for example should be fished a little higher in the water and only drifted slowly.
If you don't feel confident fishing nymphs in fast water stick to the slower water and pools.
