There is a wealth of knowledge in past posts.

YouTube it. there is alot. and for me it is better to see it and hear it rather than read it.

To me, the 2 most important things are
Start with only nymphing 10' or less from yourself gain distance with time, and make sure they are getting deep.

Be prepared to be frustrated... And if you can afford, take a half day with a guide.

Swing by Eldridge if you're in the area and ask them how to rig their thill setup.

Good piece of advice right there. I too hadn't done much nymph fishing, did 2 half days with a guide and learned more in those two half days than I would have on my own in 1 season.

Who says you can't teach and "Old Dog" a new trick or two!!

Go with the guide if at all possible. Best money I've spent on this sport was a half day guided trip when I was in my teens because I wanted to learn to fish nymphs. Otherwise I am self-taught but that half day is what allowed everything else to fall into place.

If you can't afford a guide, this would be my advice. Do some research and watch a few youtube videos. If i were you I would begin on water that I know holds fish, like an area that is freshly stocked. Some may disagree, but at the least you will see the difference between bottom and a fish. Fishing a stocked area is a great way to practice and work the bugs out for when you get on a big river, and hopefully it will give you a little confidence in your nypmhing abilities.
