The larger sized nympsI can cast on a spinning  rod and reel filled full with two lb test without a casting bubble .This year I may try the flyrod with them and /or acasting bubble in the small creeks and rivers .Trout catchers for sure but I suspect gills YPerch and other fish will go for them too!
