Not to repeat Ol Troller, but he did learn from the best[
]
I use regular mono or fluorocarbon 6 to 8 lb. I use 20 to 30 feet of it. Any shorter I use a furled leader with longer tippet for casting purposes.
On the longer leader, I tie 12" tags about 3' apart to stagger the mids. I tie a mid on the end then up to two more on tags. I use a slip indicator that I sell but you can buy them anywhere. Again, I like the 30' deep lake portion. The slip indicators allow the indicator to slip with fish on and slide down the leader so you don't have to struggle with bringing the fish in close. They set easy too.
I usually use at least one bead head mid, but I have used split shot, however, I attach it to the note of the last tag. This allows the mids below to act natural floating up and down.
You are going to want sonar in the future, but you deep nymph by clamping forceps to the bottom fly, drop it down and mark the depth, you will want to set an indicator one foot in so the fly is suspended off the bottom.
