    The Hinged Nymphing Technique

    In this episode, host Christian Bacasa interviews Dan Gracia, a former guide and experienced angler, about the hinged nymphing technique. Dan shares his background in fly fishing and how he met his mentors, Dean Schubert and Dave Hickson. He explains the advantages of the hinged nymphing technique, including precise fly placement and natural drifts. Dan also provides insights on setting up and working the technique, as well as its effectiveness in different fishing situations. He concludes by discussing the disadvantages of the technique and the importance of observing fish behavior and strike indicators. In this conversation, Dan Gracia shares his insights and techniques for fly fishing. He discusses skating flies and the explosive strikes they can elicit from fish. He also talks about the method of fighting big fish, emphasizing the importance of adjusting pressure and using the fish's head movement to your advantage. Dan also shares his experience fishing for Atlantic salmon in Russia. Lastly, he provides tips for fishing spring creeks with nymph indicators, including the choice of indicator color and the importance of observing fish behavior. Takeaways The hinged nymphing technique allows for precise fly placement and natural drifts. Setting up the technique involves using a yarn indicator and a tippet of the same diameter as the leader. Working the technique requires casting the fly and split shot first, followed by the indicator, to achieve a drag-free drift. The hinged nymphing technique is most effective in areas where dead drift tactics are required. Observing fish behavior and strike indicators is crucial for successful fishing with this technique.
