I use these indicators and find them really useful for my aging eyesight but more importantly for more delicate presentations compared to other strike indicators. Here’s how to put them on your line.
This article on small nymph fishing has many applications to our Grand River Tailwater. It was originally published online at Hatch Magazine. Have a read.
I’d rather fish larger nymphs, but there’s a corner of my fly box dedicated to flies that imitate tiny critters too. And trout seem to ask for them often enough. Fishing extra-small nymphs is a little different than fishing the standard fare, and for many anglers it’s hard to have confidence in them.

Here’s a video of this spectacular event from Wednesday evening, just downstream of Fergus.

“What did it eat?” I hollered. Across the lake, my fishing buddy Pat yelled back, “Red chironomid. Again.” I set my rod across my lap and unzipped a pouch on my float tube. It was a brilliant spring day, warmer than it had any right to be, and Pat and I were on my favorite high country lake a full month earlier than I’ve ever been before.
