Tip
Tip: Carry a broad nymph selection covering stoneflies, mayflies, caddis, and midges, plus soft-hackle, egg, and worm-style patterns, rather than only one type
How to do it: Stock nymphs across all major insect groups and styles, not just one type
Mistake it fixes: Carrying only one nymph type
Why it works: Trout feed on varied nymphs through the season. A broad selection covers those food types without needing to guess one type.
When it matters most: Nymph fishing
