Salmon Nymphing Rigs

You're on big water, but fish won't take a swung fly or streamer, so what next? It's time to break out the ol' chuck n' duck rig and watch that indicator drop. Cover water more efficiently without tiring out by utilizing the switch rod's ability to roll cast and extra length to make mends until that fly is dead, drifting right into the strike zone.

The Indicator line is designed for long casts and big dead drifts with nymph rigs. Wading anglers and those fishing from a boat can maximize their drifts. The long head allows for efficient mending, especially when combined with the extra length of a switch rod. 30ft weights are selected to easily load switch rods when overhead casting and have enough mass to carry and turn over indicator rigs.

Steelhead/Salmon Leaders are built to match the needs of the steelhead and salmon fly fisher. The leaders are made of a medium stiff nylon that is incredibly tough and highly abrasion resistant, and designed with a powerful taper design that easily turns over larger flies, and cope with tough winds. The ideal choice for heavy eggs or nymphs. Add Fluoroflex Strong for its strength and abrasion resistance—and you're set!

Nymphin' ain't pretty when fishing a heavy-duty indicator rig for steelhead, salmon, and other anadromous fish, but it is super effective. Just grab a handful of egg flies and attractor patterns, and you'll be bobber down in no time.
