NYMPHING….Keep rod tip high and watch for a take…if you slightly bow your line it is easier to see it hesitate or straighten a bit..
Hold the line lightly between thumb and first finger… you will detect the tug…release line to play fish on the rod and enjoy the fight…
SUBMERGERS….Cover the opposite bank from upstream to down and at the end of your cast, stop the rod and let the the fly swing..I POP it under to accomplish this and the Broomstick Caddis, Black Bear Caddis are great for this. The fur wings of calftail and black bear roots are kinky and trap air which leaves an attractive trail of bubbles to entice a strike…
