The Blue Liner's Bible -- Nymphs On Small Streams

August 17, 2025 • Domenick Swentosky • Season 16 • Episode 4

In this fourth episode of the Blue Liner's Bible, we talk about nymphing on small waters. We discuss when and where we might turn to nymphs, and then we break down the adaptations for different styles.

We cover dry dropper, mostly as a nymphing tactic. Then we discuss indicator nymphing and tight line nymphing with a Mono Rig.

My friend, Austin Dando, joins me for an important look at the variety of nymphing tactics we use on small waters.
