April 5th, 2011 - Tuesday's Tip - "Tandem Nymph Rig"

I have always looked at a master fly fisherman as a “true outdoor artist.” Recently I had the privilege of fishing with such an artist. Professional guide Gordon Vanderpool of Turning Stones Fly Fishing is based in Franklin, NC. Although I have had some experience fly fishing, I asked Gordon to treat me as though I was one of clients who knew nothing about the sport. Gordon does an excellent job of explaining in detail the how, where, and why of fly fishing. I look to forward to releasing the two part video segment that includes an in-depth interview with Gordon in the next couple of weeks.

With spring in the air - fly fishing is on the mind of many of our viewers and followers. I thought it would be a great time to feature Gordon on this week’s Tuesday Tip. Make certain you watch the video below for detailed instructions on how to set-up and fish the “Tandem Nymph Rig.”


I greatly appreciate your follow and hope that you enjoyed this week’s Tuesday Tip.

I would like to hear from you - If you have a tip that you would like to see featured on this weekly segment make certain to e-mail me at rb@rbwrightoutdoors.com.

Thanks again and I look forward to hearing from you.

  1. RB,

    Great learning for me. I had no idea that fly fishing was that technical. Thanks for sharing. Keep team coming.

  2. A great tactic and a really nice explanation! I'd fish a multiple fly rig more often if I could keep 'em from ending up around my ears. :)

  3. Very nice video...I often fish multiple fly rigs - be it a dry/nymph tandem or a string of nymphs, all are quite effective. Thanks for the post!

  4. Kerry -- Thanks for the comment and I am glad these help! Fly fishing is technical...but I am learning more and more from these masters that it really is an art form. Did you ever think Owl Jones would be considered an artist?

    Owl -- for some reason the ear piercing does not surprise me! lol Thanks for the comment and we are trying to finish your video review up - do not give up on me! Great flies BTW - getting them filmed in action so hang in there!

    Tourtrageous - Thanks for the comment - I really appreciate the "king of trout" stopping by to see what we are doing and appreciate even more that you liked our tip! Thanks again

  6. Dustin - Thanks! I am an old school guy myself and I must admit when you think about this rig and setup...it makes sense. I hope you try it. I hope it works and I look forward to hearing the results! Thanks for stopping by.
