Ай бұрын

I spent a day Euro Nymphing on a Central PA limestone stream in May. I battled the wind all day, but with proper casting angles and positioning, I caught Brown Trout and Brook Trout from the time I started until I ended.
Join me on my incredible time on the stream. I talk about dealing with the wind, what I'm seeing in the water, and proper placement.
The flies of the day that really stood out were a size 16 Spanish Bullet (Culiroja) perdigon and a size 16 Jack Daniel's on the dropper.
Hope you enjoy it.
Tight lines!

Hey Cory, I been a fly fisher most of my life but never have given much thought to Euro nymphing. My Dad has always been my fishing partner and I lost him about a year or so ago. I've been wanting to get back to fly fishing but wasn't able to get motivated. I stumbled across some of your videos this fall/winter and have watched a bunch of them. Enough to get me excited and make me decide to give Euro nymphing a try. I think the one video that truly got me, was your spring trip to the Smith River in southern VA. I live in NC. but the Smith is what I consider my home water. I can be there in a little over an hour. I don't have a Euro rod yet but do have a 10' rod (tip flex so not the best for Euro) and bought some Euro line to go with it. I'm also using a mono rig -20' of Maxima Chameleon, 4' slighter material and 3-4 feet of 6x tippet - dropper rig. That is an interesting rig to cast but after a little practice it does get easier. I'm hoping when I buy a Euro rod it will help. Ok, enough of the back story. I do have a few questions from watching your videos and then attempting to put them into practice.: 1- From your videos I find it hard to tell how far you are typically casting in your videos. When you say (for instance) you are casting 25' are you taking into account the rod length, so In my case with a 10' rod a 25' cast would be 15' of line outside my tip or would it be 25' of line outside the tip? 2- I find I'm having trouble with determining when I'm at depth. Sometimes I can feel my flies bouncing on the bottom but a lot of times I can't. What can I do to make sure I'm at the proper depth? 3- This kind of goes along with #2. How can I tell if I'm using the correct weight bead? Sometimes I'll pick up some trash on my flies, which tells me they've been on the bottom but sometimes not. I'm not sure if I'm at the bottom, close to the bottom or way off the bottom. 4- I remember in one of your videos you spoke about the fact of "if you only feel your strikes" your probably missing a bunch. For the most part I seem to be feeling my strikes more than anything. Do you have any advice on how I can improve my strike detection? I know this was long winded but keep up the good work. Your videos are fantastic!

Wonderful Cory. I pick up something with everyone of your videos. Question about selecting bugs. I normally try to stay with something that works for example the stone pony or a walt’s. At times I pick other bugs like a pheasant tail. What directed you to use the Spanish Bullet?
@OldDominionTroutBum
@OldDominionTroutBum Ай бұрын
Thank you, James! There is a method to my madness. I'll look at the conditions (sunny, water clarity, size bugs, and pressure). That is where I begin. As I fish, I'll start rotating my bugs, especially if I am in a 'fishy" spot and get no strikes. I'll make sure I'm getting perfect drifts, then I'll change colors and contrast first. Let's say I start out with a Walt's, I'll switch to a Spanish bullet (like in this case). It is completely different. Sometimes, that is what it takes. The water had a limestone green tinge to it and black shows up well in it. They hit it right away, so I ended up using it a lot that day. It pays to have light bugs and dark bugs. Flash, no flash. Natural looking. And some with movement. Hope this helps. It is something I can write forever about....

Love the way you've trained Mr. Brownies and Mr.Brookies to jump directly into your net ...that takes some serious fish training and skill:)...maybe euro nymphing could be become a new international sport category at the Paris Olympics this year 😃...great techniques, river craft/positioning and detailed explanations for us all to learn from...thanks so much for sharing as ever. Just out of interest Cory, the river flow rate / depth looks good and the beautiful fish seemed to be feeding steadily thru the day ...may I ask how did you previously/typically rig up to fish similar conditions before you finessed your euro nymphing / mono leader / tight lining techniques and how did your catch rates/enjoyment levels compare?...thank you Ps. as the weather improves, having some great fishing for local wild brownies and grayling with your slim Jack Daniels (16's and 18's)👍tight lines

Lots of years of training those brownies and brookies, TK! If they have an Olympic team...I'm in! I have been doing this since I was 7 years old. My Dad taught me this technique using worms and 2 lbs test on a 8.5ft full flex rod. He taight me how to cast and watching the leader at the surface for strikes. Once, I starting getting it, I replaced worms with nymphs and split shot (before tungsten). I was Euro Nymphing before I knew it was such a thing. To me it was just "trout fishing". The equipment changed and I saw the usefulness of it-so I just evolved with it. I read George Daniel's first book in 2009/2010 (I think). It was the first time I heard the term "Euro Nymphing". I read the first page and I was like..."well, that's what I do. I Euro Nymph!" I have tried every leader formula out there, but was always comfortable using long, light leaders because that is how I was taught by my Dad. I just got better over time because of was/still am so passionate about it. I owe it all to my Dad-he was ahead of his time... Glad that Jack Daniel's is working for you! Tight lines to you, my friend!

Hey Paul. I like the 3.25 on my 2wt. Still great balance and even lighter. The 3.5 is an awesome reel and I still use it on my 3wt. It has nothing to do with fatigue or casting…just personal preference. Thanks for watching!

Great vid! In your videos, you often stress the importance of seeing the strike rather than relying on feel. If you were night fishing would you change your nymph rig at all, since it would be impossible to see strikes? (I've gotten interested in night fishing after watching Joe Humphreys' videos.)
@OldDominionTroutBum
@OldDominionTroutBum Ай бұрын
David, that's a great question. If I night fish, it is with streamers. I still like to jig them on a euro rig, but you can rely on feel then because you are so tight. You can bust some large ones at night. They are on the hunt.

Damon-everything is situational but if you have the current coming at you, then you can. Streams don’t always flow perfectly left to right or right to left. Also, you can make short, efficient drifts far away….working the stream in short segments. Lastly, not every cast is directly across the stream, some go up and come back to you.
