Remember mending the line.
This takes practice, that is for sure. If you know that your nymph is near the bottom, bouncing like they say, you may be getting very subtle takes and not know it.
This IMO is the hardest form of fly fishing but the most productive.
Trout laying near the bottom try everything that comes within easy range that looks like food, if it is not, it is spit out and the day goes on.
Your job is to strike then the fish has the fly in his mouth, before it is rejected.
Some of these members are very good at it. You can learn too. Keep at it, the river is full of fish and they feed all the time.
