Notable Quotes
— 19:26 — « One of the most exciting things in nym fishing is sight casting to a fish thats feeding in shallow water with a nymph, a naked nymph which means no weight on the leader, no indicator, just a tiny weighted nymph thrown to a fish in shallow water. »
— 20:13 — « Nice thing about fishing without an indicator is you can reel the fish right up close to your rod, yeah baby, bring them out in the sun here, get them in the clear water, burp them a little bit like they do the salmon, they roll, they roll them on the belly and get all the air out of them. »
— 21:06 — « I joined experienced guide Molly Semenic in Montana to learn more about proper positioning and drift of indicators when nymphing from a boat. »
