Bow River Nymphing with Straight Mono/Fluoro
Can anyone share their success or comment on nymphing with straight mono and/or fluoro directly from the fly line? I've heard the comment that a tapered leader in the heavy top end can drag and resist the nymphing flies from getting to the bottom. If using straight line directly from fly line, is it much harder to turnover the cast?

My limited experience with this is that proper casting is tricky but lobbing the nymph back upstream (using current to load the rod) is fine. It's also way cheaper.

You could just use about 3ft of 20lb mono off the flyline and then add on whatever you like below that. Should help turn it over.

Take 5-6' 15lb maxima ultragreen to a swivel (any size you want), then run 3-4 feet of whatever 8lb fluoro tippet/line you want. Its not so much tapered, and gets the job done. Pretty easy to build too.

i break my taper leader off about half way up and use regular line instead of tippet, i almost always outfish everyone that goes with me on the bow, have always fished this way and always catch fish, i use a 6 lb triline, i tryed 4lbs but it stretches to much after a fish and needs replacing, 6 lb works awesome.

Learniong how to properly mend my line was something that really helped me ensure my nymphs were on the bottom of the Bow. How's your mending technique Bullfighter?

I use the same system in lakes out of a pontoon boat
A super fast sinker is at the begining of the system to adjust to variable depth. Your fingers will do the walking. |
