Thanks very much. I was hesitant learning it, now I don't actually know why. It's fun and effective.

Thanks so much, that's great to hear. Wish I had more content. Going to try and put something together for next week or do a Q&A livestream. Itching to get out myself. Hopefully not too long to go.

Thank you so much, Rachel. It's great to get this type of feedback. I'm working hard to make them entertaining and add some useful info in as well. I am planning a bit more tutorial-type videos as well and a bunch of adventures to the backcountry and some car camping things this summer. Hopefully, they will let us out of Auckland soon. Tight lines.

@@CrazyAboutFlyFishing That sounds great, really looking forward to those backcountry and camping fishing adventures!

Thanks mate, it was a great session. Looking forward to getting some more soon.

Awesome, I'm just about to release another Euro nymphing vid, hopefully tomorrow and the winter season starts again soon so there will be lots of euro vids coming up over the next 6 months. Let me know if there is something specific you would like to see or know and I'll try to cover it in a future video. I'm no expert but have picked up a few things. Thanks for watching

@@CrazyAboutFlyFishing I’ll be sure to keep an eye out for future videos!

Haha yeah but it's worth it when you do hook them. I've had some great days on the swing and some busts. I'm really enjoying the single handed setup swinging down on my way back after a day of fishing up. It just saves an otherwise wasted day back and I often hook into a few food fish.

Nice one, thankfully Lewis is a good sport and very good net man. He did manage to land one but I failed to film it as my SD card ran ou,t so my bad for not showing his fish 😂. But yeah he had a bit of a tough one. Did hook a bunch though.

Haha I just need to keep more on the line and get them to the net, next time

Also, it was good to see when you were able to take of all the hooks and lines from that beauty bow 👏👏👏

@@flytrout_nz yeah hope it survived all of that

Kia ora mate much appreciated, tight lines 🎣

I think that a Tenkara setup has a time and place but I'm not sure this particular piece of water or the fish that reside in it are the one. It can 100% be an absolute blast though for sure.

Thanks that's an interesting suggestion. How do you handle these mad fish without a reel though? I'll have to look up some tenkara vids

Thanks very much. I'll add your question to this week's Q&A video so keep an eye out for that on Thursday.

Yeah, it's unnecessarily complicated really. Keep it simple. Euro fly line to 1.5 rod lenghts of two tone sighter tippet to a tippet ring and then tippet from there to your flies as needed for the depth you are fishing. You should end up with 2 rod lenths total to your point fly.

@@CrazyAboutFlyFishing thank you. What about normal fly fishing? It’s just fly line and a lesser right? Or no lol I’m clueless

@Riich87 yes, "normal fly fishing" uses a tapered weighted fly line to cast the flies attached to a leader. There are many different methods, but the main difference from euro nymphing is using the fly line to cast, not the weight of the flies.

It's a Traper GST 10'6 3wt with a GST nymph full cage real and traper euro nymph fly line to 10ft of bicolor 2x leader to 4ft of 4x to dropper and another foot to the point fly. Pink beaded and orange hotspot flies seemed to do the trick on the day.

Oh wow...I live in the US. The only trout of that caliber I am euro nymphing for are in the 12 to 25 inch range and not that heavy. I use the same rod and it sure puts a bend on it! Surprised you use that for those caliber fish

@@Asmith736049 it works a treat actually. The butt has a lot of power in it. The problem is that 4x tippet is needed to fish with lighter flies and clear conditions so sometimes the snags get you first. If it's a bit colored up I fish up to 2x and just go real heavy then you can muscle them in. The rod has plenty of grunt.

Thank you

Keep in mind I have only euro nymphed for a few months so my contact and line management isn't great. I am aware I shouldn't have slack line when euro nymphing, if I do I would miss a lot of takes and miss fish for sure but I'm not sure if this is what you are referring to? Could you clarify? I don't normally have slack after hooking the fish, if anything I may be going a bit hard on them.

Thanks 😊

Nope this one is a caddis pattern with CDC and a pink bead but it is the reason I tied the other pink ones. I will be tying more of this one too. We'll that's if I make it down that way before October 1st which at this point seems unlikely. If not it will be straight to the backcountry for me.

Trapee GST 10'6 3wt with their GST full cage reel and euro flyline. Leader is 10 foot duo bicolor sighter to 3-5 foot 4x tippet to dropper and another foot 4x to point fly.

This was filmed pre-lockdown and is the last day of a 3 day trip. I film my content weeks in advance but I have now run out. I live in Auckland so have not been fishing since lockdown started.

No I started a few months ago and don't do it exclusively but I'm definitely using it more and more. Took me a while to get into it. I have a playlist of vids from when I started and the things I've learned on the way on my channel

If your in the US that is to say.

I'm in New Zealand and the technique is called Euro Nymphing here. Nymphing normally refers to using an indicator/bobber and a double nymphing rig truck and trailer. Not tried tenkara yet.

Well I don't disagree with you that it isn't fly fishing. Yes, the only thing that truly separates fly fishing from any other fishing is casting using the weight of the fly line. Euro certainly uses the weight of the flies. However, regardless of our own opinions of whether it is fly fishing or not , it is very effective and in New Zealand it is a legal fly fishing method that can be used in fly fishing only waters according to the rules, as it is most places in some form. I am not a fly fishing purist in any form anyway and use whatever method I feel like that is legal. Hey I happily bait fish on any day especially with my kids as long as it's legal in the waters I am fishing. To me the method doesn't matter as much I just enjoy fishing. In anyway as I said it is legally considered fly fishing here and while I still prefer casting my fly line, I will definitely Euro when the situation calls for it, like it does in winter in New Zealand's North Island. Always appreciate the input and to have a good discussion. Tight lines and hope you enjoy some of my fly fishing videos instead, there are plenty. I mostly label anything that is exclusively euro nymphing as euro nymphing.
