Episode 26 - Advice for Fall Nymph Fishing

One of the keys to being successful in the fall is understanding "light line" nymphing.  The water is usually low, clear, and the turbidity of spring doesn't allow for the big heavy setups and spontaneous strikes from trout.  Slow things down and lighten up in the fall. Its a delicate game and this podcast is dedicated to helping you get set up right and understand how to put more trout on the line.
