But I never said that
I would be caught dead fishing one, did I?
As I am fond of saying, nymphs are a good first step for newbie fly anglers because it's more or less like worm dunking. That's why we use strike indicators, to slowly wean the newbs off bobbers and worms and to help them take the ultimate step to fish dries only. Nymph fishing is just a stage in the process and nothing more.
