I was teaching a fly tying class last night and the subject of 11 foot nymph rod came up.
I use a 9 foot rod either 4wt or 6wt for all my fishing when the stream width will allow it. I can dry fly, nymph, and streamer fish with it.
Do you really need a rod to be 2 feet longer just for nymph fishing? Do you have to carry another rod with you if a hatch comes off?
I never had an issue with high sticking with a 9 foot rod for nymph fishing.
Just my thoughts
