Nymph fishing with a toc

For those who don’t know yet, this method consists in using baits that perfectly imitate the diet of the fish you are looking for. Some of the most popular models are :

• Earthworms
• Moths
• Natural flies
• Grasshoppers
• Small fish

However, it is important to let you know that trout are very smart fish. They can quickly tell the difference between natural and artificial baits. To help you get the better of your fish, we recommend that you choose between two methods when fishing. You can choose between tense and relaxed fishing.

Choosing between tense and relaxed fishing

In order to help you easily fool your fish, you should use one of these methods when fishing for nymphs. If you have decided to go for the tense method, you are advised to use heavy fishing nymphs. There are various types of fishing nymphs on the market if you want to opt for this method. You can choose between lead, tungsten or helmeted models with brass balls.

If you have decided to try relaxed fishing, you can use lightweight fishing nymphs. These should be tied at the end. To make the lures look like natural baits, we suggest that you use underwater weighted nymphs.

How to choose your nymphs for a fishing trip

To make your fishing trip easier, we recommend that you get the right equipment. We also suggest that you choose your fishing nymphs carefully. As mentioned above, you can opt for heavy nymphs, which can be mounted with brass, lead or tungsten head balls. Light nymphs are weighted with the weight of your hook. You can also opt for perdigones, which are streamlined models that are weighted at the head and covered with resin.

When buying your nymphs, we also recommend that you think about the size and colour of the nymph. For this, it is important to take into account your conditions. For the beginning of the season, choose nymphs mounted on a 10 or 12 hook. If you have decided to go for two nymphs, choose a model with a smaller size. As far as colours are concerned, we advise you to opt for models that offer colours close to the sober colour (grey, brown, olive, etc.).
