Thanks Tim for the information about the Troutbitten Mono Rig. I have read many articles written by Domenick, but never much about the Mono Rig. His mono rig technique is very interesting and makes sense to me. We might have a new forum topic Euro Nymphing technique vs Mono Rig technique. Both techniques are similar but, the mono rig seems more versatile. The mono rig you’re able to fish dry flies, streamers, use of indicators, split shot, etc… using only monofilament line. Then again you can probably do the same with the euro rig, just making a longer leader. I have copied a link from the Troutbitten site, if anyone interested in the difference between euro nymphing and the mono rig.

Who needs expensive fly lines just use monofilament.? I could’ve saved spending $70-$80 on fly line. I’m needing a new 4wt fly line on my 4wt rod. The line is shot. I’m thinking about forgetting buying new fly line and using my 4wt rod as a mono rig set up. I know the mono rig probably wouldn’t interest everyone, especially the fly fishing purists. But, the mono rig intrigue me. Tim you introduced to me other fly fishing techniques to think about! ?

Tightlines on whatever method you choose.
