i often use a indicatorless method of nymphing reason being is it offers a lot more sensitivity you’re able to stay in contact with your flies a lot longer and the indicator tippet that i do use is very sensitive so slightest bump in motion for my fly will signal that something may be on the other end the way it works i have my nymph i have my terminal tippet my 567x a two-tone indicator piece of tippet followed by my main leader which is going to help turn my flies over at a longer distance and maintain a very light amount of weight outside of my raw tip so i can high stick and not have a lot of line sag so with our sighted material this technique what we’re going to do is cast out into water it’s fairly close to us and work our way out to deeper water what we want to do is maintain visual contact with that cider material that bi-color cider material it will give us indication that if there’s a fish taking the fly also gives us a great idea of what depth we’re fishing too now ideally when we do nymph we don’t want to see or fly hanging at the bottom too often we want to see that line tick bottom ever so slightly once in a while if you’re dredging the bottom you can actually very often fish below the fish in their sight line but also lose a lot of flies too that gets pretty expensive after a while as we cast out we’re gonna cast at a short distance and watch it flow through the water keeping a high rod tip in good control or make sure as with anything else we have no drag on it on the line or offering a great dead drift so as we look forward to monitor this line we’re looking for the fly not to hang up too often on the bottom now we need to monitor those current speeds around our indicator and our fly line to make sure we’re not putting opposing forces on our fly the waterfly to travel downriver naturally subtly as any insect would or wormwood or anything that’s floating in the water naturally and we’re really watching the indicator if it does move at all we’re going to go for a little exploratory set a little pullback to see what may be there you don’t need to go for a full bass master right behind this type set oh there we go that’s real life fishing right here you
