I was trying out my dedicated Euro nymphing rig, having left my regular rods half a mile back in the car. This fish and others were rising to some sparse evening hatch, and nothing would even take a passing interest in my nymphs. So I put on a more appropriate dry fly and flopped it out in ridiculous form with my nymphing line/leader. This was the first nice fish on the rod (16" rainbow) and great fun, but was it cheating to break in the new nymphing rod with a dry fly?
