Home Forums Fishing Flyfishing Recommend a fly rod for nymph fishing

I think roll casting ease is more a product of line taper and not so much rod weight. Weight forward lines don’t roll cast for beans. Double taper lines and triangle tapers work much better for roll casting. Longer rod length will help with the roll cast, mending, and high stick nymphing. I think the rod you have with an appropriate line would work just fine. A longer one would help but isn’t a must.
