This weekend I lost four fish right before netting on nymph rigs, I haven't nymphed much this year until this weekend, so maybe I'm rusty, but what are some best practices for not letting them off when they're almost in. None of the fish were on the reel, I was stripping them in and when I lifted my rod tip up to bring them to the surface they got off before I got them in the net. I was using a Provo river bounce rig with an size 18 attractor on 4x tippet and a size 20 midge and split shot on 6x.
I got three in the net with nothing different so I was thinking maybe I wasn't always setting the hook quite well enough.
