well i fish my nymphs is on a floating line with a leader of double my rod length so about 18ft and have 2/3 nymphs at 4 ft intervals, so i am covering a range of depths. I fish them using a slow figure 8 retrieve.

Some people fish nymphs and buzzers under a indicator inorder to hang the nymphs in the water, giving them a more natural movement and to cover the depths. Personally I have had no luck with this method when using it with nymphs but it is working a treat with bloodworms

hope this helps in some way

when i fish nymphs i tend to have a heavy nymph on the point a blob in the middle and another nymph on the top dropper......The way this works is that the blob (hopefully) will attract the fish and then it will see the nymphs and take one of them, obviously you do catch fish on the blob too...........

i also have fished the buzzers under the bung but for some reason i never seem to catch many fish, so other methods are adopted for fishing under the bung
