Fly Fishing Podcast--Swing Nymphing Technique
The “Swing Nymphing Technique” we teach in our bass schools is easy to master and very effective.

 

In the second portion, Harry discusses the swing nymphing tactic that he uses for bass fishing.  This method was taught to him by Charlies Brooks many years ago and is still effective today.. which is why we teach it in our Smallmouth Bass Schools.  You can also learn more about this technique in Harry’s book  Fly Fishing Techniques for Smallmouth Bass.

In the third portion, Harry discusses a tip he uses while floating in a boat but not getting any strikes in normal fishing conditions.  He uses a Half Roll Cast Pickup which causes his streamer to swim back and forth across the stream rapidly.   Shenk’s White Streamer    Murray’s Heavy Hellgrammite

In the fourth portion, Harry discusses tips for fishing in the wind and fishing with flies that match the natural foods that the bass see in the rivers.  Natural food-hog sucker=Murray’s Magnum Hog Sucker size 4; Natural food-bluegill=Murray’s Magnum Bluegill size 4
