Bottom Bouncing:
Bottom Bouncing involves allowing nymphs to naturally touch down and regain footing on the river bed. The goal is a slow crawl with the river bed's friction controlling the drift speed, providing more control. The approach aims to simulate nymphs bouncing between rocks naturally without getting snagged, leading to a magical drift when executed effectively. Rigging includes drop shot rigs for quick bottom reach or traditional split shots with unweighted flies.
