  2. When ever i fish the bow i usually have my two hander. I like the ease of getting it right back out there . Im sure this could be done with a number of rods, single or double. Also, i think i land more fish with the two hander because i think the extra length gives me more control. As for nymphing close up... it gives me that little extra reach and i can keep more line offf the water. I have never fished a two hander anywhere but the bow, if i were fishing a stream where fish were visible i like the single hander because i have better line control,much more delicate cast, and its usually no more then 40 feet across.

  3. Reading an old issue of Fly Fisherman and they have an article on bounce nymphing. Basically the fishing technique is the same but with a different strategy of rigging up. The rig they have sketched out is a indi with a leader that is three times as deep as the water you are fishing. Then they are tying on nymphs perpendicular to the line with tippet 2"-5" droppers. Below the droppers on the leader about 12 inches below the bottom nymph they have three spilt shot tied on at the end of the leader. So your splits are "bouncing" along the bottom, with your flies suspended jsut above. I have never heard of this technique before and wonder if anyone uses it on the bow? I feel that the spilt shot right on the bottom would be picking up cabbage left and right. Also, if your fishing 6 feet of water then you need and 18ft leader.... seems like it would be really hard to see a strike with that much leader. What do you guys think?
