Induced Take is a term used to describe a technique used when fishing a 'sunken nymph' such as a Pheasant Tail Nymph. It is commonly used as part of the Netheravon Style of fly fishing. The induced take was developed by the famous fisherman and river keeper Frank Sawyer MBE. The technique requires the fisherman to cast the nymph upstream of the target where it can sink to a level slightly below that of the fish. The fisherman then makes the nymph 'swim' up through the water in front of the fish by lightly drawing in the line and/or slowly lifting the rod tip. This swimming motion imparted on the nymph by the fisherman imitates the action of a natural nymph and induces the fish to take.
Frank Sawyer first described the induced take in his book Nymphs and the Trout.[1] Further detail was provided by Nick Sawyer in the book Frank Sawyer's Nymphing Secrets.[2]
