Nymph rigs from the film The Fish & The Fly 2
In the film The Fish & The Fly 2, Morten Oland fishes under many different circumstances and conditions, that often require special rigs to be fished effectively.
Rig for grayling in River Traun
Morten fishes with this specific rig while grayling fishing on the River Traun in Southern Germany. It is fished upstream - or across and up - and the rig enables you to fish the little nymph close to the bottom. Morten uses indicator paste. Popularly speaking, this is a floating paste that is moulded and squeezed onto the line. It serves as a kind of float and a strike-indicator.

The stonefly nymph is heavily weighted and it is meant to pull the little and much lighter nymph down, so that it fishes close to the bottom.

Troutfishing on the River Traun
This is a very simple rig.
With indicator paste, the nymph can be fished in a controlled manner, and even the most careful strike will be registered. The distance between the indicator and the nymph is adjusted according to water depth and current.

On a lot of different occasions we have had underwater cameras on the fishing spots. In the River Traun, we see a rainbow trout feeding. Tiny twigs, which drift by, are taken in the belief that they are small Caddis Case Larvae - or house-building caddis larvae. It has a quick taste and then spits them immediately back out again.

At the end of the leader, Morten fishes a very effective imitation of a house-building caddis larvae. He fishes upstream over a slow-paced river stretch. By using the indicator paste, he can fish the fly so that it drifts just above the bottom.

Trout fishing in Lappland
This is a very simple nymph rig too. Morten fished trout in a fantastic little river in Lappland. The fish are close to the opposite side, where the depth is a mere 0.5m. The first fish, that Morten catches, takes the nymph while it drifts freely without an indicator. However, on this shallow and fast-flowing stretch of water, it is difficult to fish the nymph, so that it looks like a free-drifting caddis larvae. The nymph gets stuck a lot on rocks, and it doesn't look very life-like. With a bit of indicator paste on the line and short distance between the indicator and the nymph, the fly can be fished with much greater control.

Trout fishing in shallow waters - New Zealand
In the film, Morten Oland casts to a fish that cruises around in really shallow and clear water. |
 |
In shallow and clear water, there is a risk, that the indicator paste will spook the fish. Therefore, Morten uses a big imitation of a beetle as an indicator.

Trout fishing in deep pools - New Zealand
Some fish are deep down in big pools of water and they can be difficult to get to. In the film, Morten fishes to a big trout that holds near the bottom of a very clear and deep pool with difficult currents.

 |
A big # 10 Stonefly Nymph works great as an indicator in this particular fishing situation. It looks very natural and its floating capacity is great enough to carry heavily weighted nymphs. |  |
| To
get a relatively small fly down in the big pool, Morten fishes with two
heavy nymphs on the leader. Especially the Heptagenia Nymph is heavily
weighted. |  |
