I’ve been carrying around what I call a nymph kit or a nymphing kit for a few years. I fish nymphs a lot and to do so, you need a lot of little things. Weights, indicators, etc. I also use a system for adding weight called Toobies. I love that system and it’s not-toxic to boot. Just Hevi-Shot pellets and tubing. I used to carry all of that separately. A box for the Toobies system, a handful of small zip-lock bags for indicators, plastic lead sinker holders, you name it. What a CF!
So, in the name of sanity and efficiency, I consolidated. I put all that stuff into a single box that I call my nymph kit. I used to use the box the Toobies came in, but recently I’ve switched to a small fly box with individual doors for each section. Before without individual doors for each compartment, one slip and the whole works would be all over the bank, or worse, in the water. My, don’t all those indicators look pretty floating downstream? Now, I will only lose the contents the open compartment. (more…)
