Lightning Bug - Beadhead Trout Nymph Another great trout falls for a Silver Lightning Bug Nymph! All colors work very well, try Pearl during a Caddis Hatch! Trout Nymphs for Fly Fishing The Lightning Bug is a famous attractor nymph, in fact, it might be the most famous and was in fact developed by a late Yakima River fly fishing guide. It's roots run deep on the Yakima, but trout everywhere seem to have a sweet tooth for this flashy nymph. The secret to the Lightning Bug is that it reflects light from its submarine surroundings helping to give it an organic look with a bit of flash so that trout can distinguish it from random litter. It fishes well for Caddis, Mayflies, and any other aquatic. In fact, the #12 fishes well in lakes as swimming nymph. Wherever you go, just make sure to have lots of Lightning Bugs in various sizes.
Nymph Fishing Video Tips Nymphs in rivers are successfully fished on a slack line drift using a
strike indicator .
This is because nearly all river nymphs either cling to rocks or crawl,
very few actually swim. Wade fisherman will typically cast them
upstream and let them drift downstream using mends to keep the line
slack and the fly fishing "drag free" with no tension. Another method
is using a dry dropper method. This is where you use your dry fly as
the
strike indicator and tie the nymph on underneath it, we have a killer video on this too!

VIDEO High Stick Nymphing Tips and Video High
stick nymphing is also done with a strike indicator and is deadly on
big rivers where fast currents suck your line underwater! Some of the
biggest trout live in water that has whirlpools and harsh seamlines.
Learn how to high stick nymph by raising your rod up high and preventing
drag from occurring when the line is sucked underwater. This is very
effective, especially with rods longer than 9'.
