The dry fly might get all the glory, but for day-in-day-out ability to catch fish throughout the season, give me the nymph every time. After all, there are only a few times during the year when trout (and other species have an opportunity to feed heavily upon the surface. The rest of the time they must forage underwater to find food, and this means nymphs and a handful of other creatures. Thus, the fly fisher who wants to consistently catch fish learns to catch them with nymphs.
Today we accept the artificial nymph as a valuable component of fly-fishing, but this hasn't always been the case. The nymph was once seldom used and low in status-to some it was sort of the fly-fishers version of live bait. This was a common thought in the late nineteenth century in England. And it is significant as England is the cradle of fly-fishing, and the home of many of its traditions.
In the past I have heard continuing debates between fly tiers, "as to how do we tie a perfect nymph". This is my assumption: Taking into account the little we know about a trout's feeding habits, it seems logical to me. That nymph recognition consist of the following five "keys" : SIZE - SHAPE - COLOR - ANIMATION AND PRESENTATION . So be it.

THE MOST PRODUCTIVE STONE FLY NYMPHS - TERRIESTRIALS FOR YEAR 2002…
There is not a time of the year when you can't use Stone Fly nymphs to catch trout, and that's one of the reasons for their great appeals to fishermen. Years ago fishermen catch the real stone flies and use them as live bait. But today we imitate these nymphs with fur and feather, and present our frauds right at the bottom of the rivers and streams - and they do catch trout. Stone Fly Nymphs may live as three years in the water before they hatch into winged adults. This means that at any given moment there are variety of Stone flies present in the streams, with each years brood been a different size. Trout become habituated to feeding on these Stone Fly Nymphs, and they'll take an imitation when it is properly presented. Also, just prior to hatching, Stone fly nymphs migrate to the shallows. This moment exposes them to the trout, and fishing a nymph at this time can be deadly. Because Stone fly nymphs prefer fast, well-oxygenated water, we usually weight our imitations to get them down to the rocky stream bottom.
