We continue our series of blogs on fly fishing with nymphs by discussing the swimming nymphs.
Swimmer nymphs hide in the cracks of rocks in the slow moving water of pools, pockets, and near the banks of the streams.
A nymph is a nymph, right? Just tie on a Copper John or Hare's Ear and fish it drifting in the current and you'll be fine, right? Wrong and wrong. In the next few blogs, we'll be taking an in depth look at nymphs and how to fish them properly.
We had a chance to go fly fishing on the Little River in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park Saturday, spending a mid winter day with Perfect Fly inventor and trout fishing guru James Marsh. This winter has been unusually warm and wet in our area of the country, so it's good to see the streams full of water again after several dry years.
With the winter in full swing, the fishing on the South Holston River has been good. The weather has been Mild for this time of year and it has been great to be out on the water. Blue Wings have been hatching pretty well here on the South Holston River. As the water is dropping the bigger variety of Sulphurs have been coming off. They did every day last week. Then on other parts of the river, BWO's have been doing their thing and as the water flattens out, it then becomes Midge time.
Matthew and I headed up to Upper Wilson Creek to celebrate Trout Day 2012. Trout Day is our unofficial first trout fishing trip of the year, typically January 1st, but this year it was the 2nd. Wilson, known for its brown trout, is a picturesque trout stream, designated as a National Wild Scenic River.
