So, admittedly I am pretty limited in my knowledge of all the various methods and tackle for tight line nymphing, but it sounds like you haven’t really decided on a particular approach? Perhaps you have already played around a lot more than I am thinking, but if you haven’t don’t overlook the simple approach first. Just take out your normal trout rod (really anywhere between 8-11’ can work for some water, and not for other water), tie a nice long leader ending with 2x or 3x with a big stonefly or attractor, then run a smaller dropper with 4x right off the bend of the first hook.
Keep your casts short and easily controlled, keep the line tight and straight with the grain of current, and set quick! If you’re already past this level ignore; but if you haven’t spent some time on “simple tight line line “ presentations I would spend time there and let your discoveries and limitations help guide your choice on equipment for more dedicated tight line systems.
Just a thought, tight lines!
