Start the season with the larger size as the water clears and flows drop ..go down in size ..purchase some weighted nymphs to get down to a sighted fish ..but if you are floating a cicada in the fast water below the rapid go with bubble you can see ie red / white .

Biggest thing is changing you rig to suit the water your fishing …slow clear water ..clear bubble casting well above the sighted fish ..if it’s deep water use a weighted nymph ..fast turbulent water a red n white bubble so you can see if the bubble stops strike …Probably the best thing you can have is a mate guiding you in / telling you when to strike …if s/he can watch the fish eat your nymph your success rate climbs ..or if the fly drifts over or the fish ignores your offering they can tell you.

Then you can change size or type of nymph…hell it’s all about trying , getting burnt catching and just being out there.

Post up your success and horror stories ..we will enjoy them all
