Provo River Frustrations

[ScottyP]

After holding out for a number of years, I recently switched my typical in-line nymph rig to a bounce rig. The difference with the bounce rig is that the weight is below the flies and the flies are tied off the main leader on short (2-4") droppers. When configured properly this is a great way to nymph deeper runs where many fish hold without spooking. I don't really like to nymph a whole lot (prefer dries and streamers) but switching to this rig was fun for me because it was something different and I was able to effectively fish water that I normally couldn't fish very well-- deep, slower runs. Here is an article by Larry Tullis where he details the bounce nymphing setup much better than I ever could: [url "http://flyfisherman.com/skills/ltbouncenymphing/"]http://flyfisherman.com/skills/ltbouncenymphing/[/url]
