I have a 9' 6wt fly rod that was gifted to me that I've only ever used one time. Could I effectively use that rod to euro nymph?
@GilbertRowley 2 күн бұрын
You bet! When I first started Euro nymphing I used a 9' 5wt for a couple of years. I caught tons and tons of fish with it. There are a few limitations such as limited reach since it's a bit shorter, arm fatigue since it's a bit heavier and you'll be high sticking a lot, and tippet protection since 6 wts are a lot stiffer than the 3 wts we fish most of the time now days when Euro nymphing. With all that said, I say go for it! You're going to love it and find it super effective!

In water link that, single nymph is a no brainer, having two nymphing in that current, they are just fighting each other. Try singly nymph, that is all I fish.
@GilbertRowley 4 күн бұрын
I fish a single nymph quite often as well, but I still love my double nymph setup when I feel like the pockets are big enough to allow my nymphs to both drift in the same current seem. The double nymph becomes unproductive when they end up in different speeds of current, fighting against each other by being pulled in opposite directions. This can most certainly happen in pockets like these, but with a purposeful cast it’s still very possible to get both nymphs where they need to be. But yes, I agree complete with you, there are times when a single nymph is far more productive in complicated pockets 👍

4x- 5x usually. More Timor’s than not I use 5x to help my flies sink a little quicker. If it’s a really shaggy river I’ll go 4x to hopefully avoid losing flies that get snagged. I don’t think the fish mind either way, but there are advantages with both.

I’m still watching people cast a dry fly over and over with no fish rising, no strikes, no fish all day. I can’t tell you how triggered and offended I am that I can’t watch them catch a fish. I take my kids to the river to play in the water and feel sad for these people. Just throw a nymph on! Maybe a dry dropper! Then I click on Ol Reliable’s video here he catches a fish first cast.

Folks, this is not modern nymphing. This is a centurys old technique of worm fishing with a short fishing line tied to a long bamboo rod. I remember 45 years a go my father buying an extremely soft 14 foot light weight (I think it was a 5 or 6 Wt.) fly rod that he would lob cast weighted nymphs and hold the rod high as the nymph drifted down stream. This was on the Madison in Montana. He related to me that was how as a kid he himself learned to fish on the Esopus River in NY State and referred to it as "meat fishing". Both the Esopus and Madison are full of pocket water rock gardens. I mean - did you really figure no one has ever though of this before ??? There's nothing modern here.

@@GilbertRowley No matter what you do, age catches up to you in a couple of ways concerning fly fishing. Balance degrades and a fisher combats this with a staff. Eyesight degrades and this is combatted with better glasses/magnifiers along with a good tippet threader for size 20 and below. I'll be 80 next year and I still get on the water 100 days a year.

Wading staffs help immensely. A weird side note for people that find them awkward to pack around, if you can rig the holster to sit across the small of your back, it can be a lot more comfortable than banging against your leg. It also doesn't get caught on brush as much.

Great video! For anyone watching, who is new to euro nymphing, or uninitiated, and thinking that these results are edited or unrealistic -- they are not! This catch rate and fishing success is absolutely achievable. I cannot recommend the Modern Nymphing Masterclass enough, as those videos are what I watched to initially learn these techniques and believe that the information is valuable to any angler looking to jump in to euro style nymphing.
