nymphing?

Hey George –

Tell us a little about yourself real quick.  

Certainly.

[Zach Matthews]

In other words, my target demographic.

Firstly, Zach you have a target demographic??? LOL, how many of us fit it??? It would be great to set up a questionnaire to see how we do.

Secondly, George, welcome, you’re going to fit right in…

But now we’re getting way off topic… getting back to it…

I tried to figure out what nymphing means to me and it is quite simple…
When I catch a fish with a nymph, either a Mayfly or Caddis imitation, fished dead drifted, or with minimal controlled movement, using two main rigs. In deeper water, usually with a weighted dropper and an un-weighted point combo, called “New Zealand Rig” or “Truck & Trailer”, or in thinner water I fish it by itself, both methods normally involve an indicator and/or shit splot…

Here are the methods I fish that involve a nymph, but I call something else…
-Czech-nymphing
-Dry and Dropper
-Hopper, copper, dropper
-Static nymphing
-Un-weighted / emerger fishing

Sorry that’s just me…

Do alot of nymphing here on the white river system and have my own definintions of nymphing but this thread made me ask myself if y2k’s, egg patterns, and such would be considered nymphing if defined by technique and not entomology.

not an expert, yet, but I would say if you are using the same technique then yes you are nymphing.
