The Best Lure of All: Confidence

John Weiss learns nymph fishing from the pros and discovers that no matter how deadly the fly pattern, confidence is the essential ingredient. “When trout feed on the surface and I have the right fly, I love it. It’s elegant — the line shooting out in long looping arches and firing back, trout slurping the stylish fly, the hook set, the bend of the rod, the tug of the fish. Then there’s nymphing.” In the Rochester, Minnesota Post-Bulletin.
