My first fly rod was a 9’ from my grandfather. Started mostly dry and wet fly fishing but began fishing with a Cortland Competition 10.5’ 4 weight. I started to use a tandem euro nymph rig at an all wild pocket water stream that releases anywhere from 150cfs to 850cfs. Love it. Just ordered an 11’ 3 weight. We’ll see what happens.

Sage ESN 10 foot 2 weight for me is the perfect weapon on my small to medium rivers, it has the backbone to play the bigger ones and the finesse to fish extremely light tippets and small nymphs with tremendous sensitivity.

Yet another excellent video collaboration with Devin! It is so hard to decide on which rod and reel to choose. I did a lot of research on rods, reels and techniques before I made a purchase. I took a gamble and spent more money ($800) on my first Euro nymphing outfit than I have ever spent on any of the fly fishing outfits I have purchased over decades of fly fishing. Within three outings I was extremely happy with my catch rate compared to any other style of nymph fishing. I have yet to get skunked, even on the notoriously finicky trout streams I fish. That says a lot!

I'm glad you're happy with the rod you researched! It can seem like a leap of faith, yet your catch speaks for itself! Congrats, and I hope you continue to have fun with the new outfit. Tim www.troutandfeather.com

Can you point me to a good wf flyline for T&T contact 2 10’9” 2wt. I’m gonna ditch the euro line and just attach the mono rig to wf line that I could throw drys on? I was curious if I should use a 3wt line with this rod?

I never found a 10’ fly rod that could be balanced properly. It’s mainly because companies refuse to put a longer cork grip on them. A few do at least put on a down locking reel seat and that helps, but I don’t ever like having to put a death grip on a fly rod. When you relax your grip, the rod should stay in position, but instead, the tip drops into the water immediately. So, result is having to use a heavy reel to balance. It’s all physics and you can apply the same to many 9’ rods, and rod companies now trying to get by with shorter cork. Make a 10’ nymphing rod with about 8” of cork, and maybe I’ll buy one. But for now, I will continue to nymph successfully with a 9’ fly rod or go Tenkara.

I fish a T&T 10’ 3 wt. , moonshine epiphany 10’4” 2 wt. , Diamond back 10’ 1 wt. and the Sage ESN HD 10’ 2 wt. all three of these fish really well !!! Of the three, the moonshine is the heaviest but it’s a great rod. It recovers well, has a very light flexy tip and has backbone galore. For $299 I think from a novice to a professional, this blank suits every situation that a 2wt euro rod can do. I absolutely love the sage , t and t and the Diamond back as well. How a euro rod is rated by a weight can be deceiving. They can have a light flexy tip but have a stiff backbone. The Diamond back one wt backbone is comparable to a five wt dry fly rod. It would probably be difficult to buy a bad euro rod now days. Thanks for the video !!!

My people say a man should make his own Arrows. Take the time and learn the process (it's not easy) to build your own Czech Nymphing Rod or whatever you want to call them. Buy a good blank or two, single foot guides, lite flex coat and quality rapping threads and learn. I've seen high dollar rods that were built not knowing the proper Sline (important).

So what I tell people is get a rod that feels right. Now granted I fish mostly 10 footers and up but I always tell people who are getting into euro nymphing is get something in the 200-500 dollar range to start. You don’t want to be in it a lot if you don’t like it. The rods I recommend are orvis clearwater and recon along with cortland nymph rod. I have my opinion on other rods that I will keep to myself for the respect of others and their opinions as well as those companies but if you can only afford say a cortland nymph at the time go with that. I find in my own personally experience I can bounce between different rod lengths with ease but I have been doing it for a long time as well
