Nymphs need to hit the riverbed. How deep obviously depends on where you are fishing.

With a sink tip streamer, I usually use a 1m straight piece of 15# fluorocarbon leader with a Rapala knot to tie the streamer on. Streamers are inconsistent. When they are hot, they are smoking hot. Clouser minnows in almost every size will work. Telling what colour to use requires voodoo. The mantra is basically, dark days, dark colour; bright days, bright colour. If you cannot decide, use an olive streamer.
