  • Alan Bulmer addresses the difficulty of matching a fly line to rod, and with the number of options for each the task can be daunting. Don’t miss his article on the topic, via Active Angling New Zealand.
  • Tag and trailer dropper flies on a nymph rig can be very effective additions. Domenick Swentosky outlines techniques and tactics, noting that “the best way to get an excellent dead drift with a multi-nymph rig is to set it up with a good cast. Learn to cast the nymphs so that all the flies land in the same current seam.” Via Troutbitten.
