Re: nymph fishing

I am the opposite of Colorado, I use flouro all the time. I just buy P-Line or Vanish instead of the tippet stuff. Use 4lb and 6lb the most, but I do have some 2lb that works real well on the 20's and 30's.
If you are using a sinking line, I wouldn't bother with a tapered leader, just use straight flouro (basically the presentation is not going to be an issue).
As shallow as you mentioned a 4 to 5' piece, if it is moving fairly quick add a couple more feet.
When you find the zone, just remember how much you have out.
I use a TYPE II on the rivers all the time and I love the softhackle nymphs, so I use 4' to 5' most.
I am tight on the gear cause I can go through it quickly with the clients, so this is the most cost effective method I have.
