I'll give the putty a retry.
I know the thread started out with nymphing but the other fly type I like to tight line are streamers. Most streamer fishing for trout I fish up and across stream and let come down next to the bank like a lot of other folks. However when in prespawn and spawning mode tight line with streamers is effective with brooks and especially browns. Can be done with cutts and bows but not nearly as effective for me.
It also works well on king salmon and is almost cheating with silver salmon. With silver salmon hooking the fish is only counts 1% as 99% is landing those things after hooked.
