Tip
Tip: Use a fast-sinking tungsten jig-style nymph under a dry fly to reach the strike zone quickly in shallow water
How to do it: Use a jig nymph under a dry instead of an indicator and split shot in shallow water to get down fast
Mistake it fixes: Using an indicator and split shot in shallow water
Why it works: In shallow water, indicators and shot are clumsy and slow. A jig nymph reaches depth quickly and keeps the rig simple.
When it matters most: Dry-dropper fishing, shallow water
