First Fish on Nymph

Well, I caught my first fish in years on a nymph today. I fish the Savage River in Western Maryland and today was sunny and hot but not a fish was rising even though some hatches were on. I’ve wanted to learn how to nymph fish but don’t have the confidence yet. I’ve tried in the past but zip. Today after being frustrated somewhat because I couldn’t make a fish rise, I tied on Pheasant Tail, a little splitshot and sent in flying. After 3-4 casts a nice little 10 inch Brown hit it! I caught another one later but he got off on the way in. Turns out I can fish with nymphs but I have a LOT to learn. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated! I’m also going to read a lot!
