In this video, we drop Steve off on a technical small stream that he has never been to and knows little to nothing about. It's early spring and Steve has to figure out how to fool these picky trout with a Euro Rig (and boy does he do just that). As an added bonus he's using the micro-thin leader from our recent Cortland Video. Watch as Steve breaks down complex current seams, how to tune into a hatch, jiggy euro-streamers, and Tuck Casting. After you're done watching the video head over to our website to check out all the new tying tools and materials as well as our huge catalog of offerings.

I have been Euro fishing about 4 years now and have watched a lot of videos on the subject. This is the first video that did a great job breaking down how to solve a “ slow day”. I learnt so much, thanks Steve. Would love to see more videos on tackling tough days.

Awesome job Steve ! Great video showing us firsthand that fish don’t come on every drift! Really working every inch and changing up tactics will put some fish in the net ! You gotta take what the river gives you , and mix things up ! Big fan of your channel buddy, keep ‘em coming and tight lines !!

You can show people these techniques, but until people have a solid base of nymphing, it's lost on them.

Excellent lesson.. can you tell me what that fly box is on top of your chest pack?

@AvidMax 2 жыл бұрын

That is a C&F small flip page box - I wish I could provide a link but C&F recently made the change to a new model of distribution, so the availability of their products is basically kaput... As an alternative, I would try out some of the newer age small and light boxes, all you really need is the right dimensions to fit on your pack and not too much weight so as not to stress the velcro that holds it in place!

Hey there curious as to what rod details are and exactly how he sets up the micro leader? Is it the leader buried or is he using euro fly line too? Always open to new ideas. So many ways to rig a euro rod!

@AvidMax 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Dylan, Thanks for watching! Steve is using a Micro Thin Leader formula made with Cortland Materials. We have a video from a few weeks back that provides all the details on how to build a leader just like the one Steve is using here in this video.

I dig it, very versatile and a great size for being able to cover a lot of different water and different techniques. I see myself having this as somewhat of a "one rod quiver" for a long time!

Are you still on 6x when you are using that jig bugger?

@AvidMax 2 жыл бұрын

I believe I bumped up to 5x for that to absorb a bit more oomph on the hookset, but 6x wouldn't be impossible. Just want to be prepared for a nice fish - this is more important on rivers where there's some more big fish potential!

"technical small stream" in Ireland, that is a big river, a small stream to us is half the width of the river you are fishing and requires pure stealth movement,

I just don't feel the line gives me as much sensitivity and and control in my drifts. do you agree?

@AvidMax 2 жыл бұрын

The fly line is nice in some regards, but more often than not I prefer fishing the leader exclusively!
