Aaron, Thanks for watching and your feedback. I do agree, casting is quite critical. Although there are times and situations I use the water load/haul cast, that is not exclusively what I use. As a matter of fact, on this same day, I recorded another video which I am editing right now. I consistently see casting demonstrated in that video, and hopefully you will watch that as well. Devin Olsen and Lance Egan even teach about that water haul in their Modern Nymphing series. However, to your point, how you finish your cast and making sure not to lob is critically important.

Hey Austin, Thanks for watching any of the videos. I miss fishing the streamers for sure. However, usually it is a better technique in fall through spring. My tips for the larger ones.... 1.) Fish larger streamers 2.) Fish deeper water 3-6 feet 3.) Fish near structure 4.) Strip set on everything Keep in mind the average fish in that river is 9 inches, so anything above that is a solid fish. I have personally caught 18.5" as my biggest there and hooked about 6-10 in the 20 plus inch class. I will hold a streamer clinic in the fall. Please follow me on IG and I will post about it. Likely will hold it in October/November. Ideally would love to keep it to about 3 people to maximize opportunities to fish, learn, and get feedback. I look forward to working with you on it!

@@tightliningmd anxiously anticipating the fall it will be my first fall ever fly fishing so definitely looking forward to it. I’ve actually had some pretty good takes on the streamer recently I definitely like it the most. Thanks for the tips I hope I can get a spot for your clinic you have been a big help in learning what I know with fly fishing 🤙🏼

Thanks for watching and commenting Art! I will have another one up later today I believe. Only available to you and the other members until Friday. Finally got more ahead of this project. It is actually the 2nd part of my day you saw on this video. I kept going and caught a bunch more. Unfortunately the GoPro failed me later in the day, or else I could have made 3 videos out of it. Fishing was lights out!!! Keep an eye out to the upload and check it out this week when you get a chance. Tight lines brother!

@@tightliningmd very cool man looking forward to it!

Hey Alex! I have a new video coming out this Friday. It’s basically the second part of this day. Could have been a third, fishing was that good! Go Pro failed me though. After this week I will make a video on rod comparisons and advice on selecting one. The very best video I’ll discuss 3 leader builds and include my micro rig I use as well. I’ll make sure to have them up hopefully one week at a time. I’m long over due, but just order a new camera two weeks ago, new lens and audio yesterday. Lookin forward to hopefully a bit better production value, specifically in the home office/studio.

@@tightliningmd Many thanks.

For some reason they charge 125 to purchase a spare but if you break the tip they only charge 65 to replace the section

That is odd how that works. I am happy to know for when it inevitably happens to me :) Thanks for sharing!

I hear great things about the 10' 2 wt. They were sold out, but should have just re-stocked, so now is the time to grab on. I got the 10'1, which you saw here, and the 10'10" 2 wt. I wanted a little extra length on the second one. I would just wait until you need one, after it breaks, and grab for the $65 bucks. Crazy they make you pay over $100 for a just in case piece. Usually, most companies will want $40-60. Thanks for watching and commenting. Tight lines and enjoy the rod when you grab one!

@@tightliningmd I enjoy the 1wt. I got it for a pressured tailwater where I fish 8x regularly. It does well casting small dries and nymphing and handled 8x without any issues so far. The 2wt seemed a little stout for that but it’s probably more versatile for normal rivers that aren’t gin clear and hammered every day of the year

It is! Blue Ribbon and chock full of trout, though not always this easy to catch. Conditions were perfect. I will have another video out this Friday of another part of this day as I kept working upstream. Tight lines and thanks for watching!

I typically don't go less than 2.0 and even that I don't fish a ton. I live in the 14-18 world 95% or more of the time. So usually 2.4-3.2 mm beads are common for me. Thanks for watching and tight lines!

It was really great out there. Thankfully you got to go out and experience it. I ended with about 50-60 fish and had I fished nymphs the whole time I really think 100 was possible in about 5-6 hours. Crazy! Tight lines my friend!

Scooter! What's up buddy? Thanks for watching and commenting. I will absolutely take you up on that. I fish the mop in the winter, so common sense the green weenie will work too. Thanks for the hint :) Tight lines my friend!

Welcome to the wonderful world of fly fishing. Given it is July, you should be fishing Gunpowder, Codorus, Savage. Those would be the main options in town. Everything else is too low and hot. Thanks for watching and commenting. Have fun on the water and chase some fish!

@@tightliningmd thanks man

Thanks a bunch. I have one coming out today. Not quite as good as this video in quality of production, but still has good info, plenty of fishing/fish. Tight lines and thanks for watching!

Awesome! Thanks for watching and giving some feedback. I hope the next time you hit the stream you fill the net quickly!

You are welcome! I wish I could upload more often. I have been busy with two kids at home for the summer with us and guiding. I have about 3-4 videos in my queue to edit. Hopefully I can get a few out over the next month or so. Tight lines when you do head out~

Hey Alex! This video was basically a 3 parter, because fishing was that good on this day. I filmed this, then the sighter angle video which was my previous video, and also Euro Nymphing the Simple Way. The goal of that day was to really just film the Simple Way video, but fishing was consistently good all morning. I likely caught 40-50 fish this day lol, in about 4 hours. I mean one of the best mornings I have had. As a result, I had on my more standard Mono Rig, which I left the car planning to shoot the Simple Way video using that leader. I ended up having a banner day, so I have 3 videos now with this style leader. In reality, if I know I will be nymphing primarily, I still prefer the micro rig. I use that more and on guide trip. Occasionally though, I will dabble in the leader you saw here.

Spring was SO DAMN GOOD!!!! Cool mornings, high flows, no humidity, amazing fishing. It was LIGHTS OUT until about 1st or 2nd week of June. It tapered from there and now for the last 2 weeks its been BRUTAL. No rain at all in MD, crazy heat and humidity. Hopefully the rest of summer sees more rain at least, the heat is inevitable.

Hey Jerome! Thanks for the feedback and watching. As always, I appreciate you. Hopefully you have been getting out and giving fish a hard time. Tight lines!

All fair points. I think to a degree some could be more well explained by me. However, some of the points about what you can't see really would require basically a professional camera crew and multiple set ups on the stream. I do believe a lot of the people viewing do have a background of knowledge, which help. Whereas, to your point, those who don't have a level of ignorance as to what is going on. Thanks for the feedback and hopefully in future videos I can help brush up some of those points some.

Hey Randy! Thanks for watching and commenting. The leader is all mono for this year. However, I do have backing and fly line on. I apologize for not mentioning that. I have standard Dacron and then any brand Euro Line you prefer. I think Rio and Cortland produce good quality, but any will suffice. I will say, I like them with a perfection loop at the end, simply because you can tie ANY leader type to it, especially if you saw a blanket hatch and wanted to cast traditionally. I connect my leader to the Euro Line via a clinch knot, if there is a loop. Otherwise, you can do a UV splice, add a tippet ring to end, and even other options. What you MUST avoid is a perfection loop to perfection loop. Meaning, don't buy manufactured Euro Leaders, they SUCK! Too thick, too much memory, and come with a perfection loop. As a result, when you are drifting or casting with two loops they will get caught in the guides and you won't get a smooth cast or drift as you manage the line. I sell leaders, that I hand tie, on my website and they are very durable, delicate, and work well for this style. If you ever want one, just head on over and I ship them out all over the US. I am on vacation starting tomorrow, so check back on the 13th and you will see all the flies and leaders I use and tie. Thanks for watching and I hope my answer helped. Tight lines and have fun on the water!

Thank you so much for getting back to me.

@@tightliningmd thank you so much for getting back to me, this Euro is all new to me but I’m no expert any other way either but I have spent a lot of time fishing for steelhead while bouncing a worm or roe with some weight on the bottom of the river with a spinning outfit. So this looks like a lot of fun to me, thanks for the video! I’ll look for more.

Danny, Thanks for watching and commenting. It is my one of my favorite ways to fish and I think sometimes we can get lost in the details. I am glad this helped and hope when you hit the stream and give it a try you find it a bit easier!

I don’t know if there is a best way. If there is, I haven’t found it. There are simple ways; which is why I titled it the way I did. But I’m not in a position to say something is the best. I can say simple or most effective. But as always, with life and fly fishing, there’s a lot of “it depends”.

Guess that’s for the fly shop to figure out. It’s also a one use code: which allows them to sell at full price for all items. However; still allows a customer to get a small discount on a specific item of their choice for just one purchase. It’s not uncommon practice. Troutbitten has many similar discount codes for a variety of stores nationwide.

Not as often as you’d think. Watch one of my more recent sighter angle videos. That helps me limit it a good bit. Also, can always change weights of flies accordingly. If all you are doing is dredging or ticking the bottom then something is wrong

Thanks for checking it out. Wish I had more time to keep putting out videos. But with full time job, guide service; and two kids it’s a bit tough. I try my best to give coaching/teaching points in videos. Stick with it and I’m sure you will do well. Tight lines!

Literally everything! It has the reel, rod, line, even a leader (though not my favorite; but certainly good enough) and even comes with tippet to use, which is 5x flouro. Heck, they even include flies now, which appear to be good Tungsten Beaded ones. The price has even dropped recently, which makes it a GREAT deal right now. Here is a link for it: amzn.to/45nTxVQ I would highly recommend for a starter set up, which I think it is better than a beginner set. Just be sure to choose the Euro Nymph Ready to Fish Bundle. It was $399, which I thought was a good enough deal. It is now only $320!!! Enjoy and thank me later! Tight lines Jonathan!

That is awesome! I love a good dry dropper set up, especially during terrestrials. Size 12-16 is the sweet spot with nymphing. It is not uncommon I got to sz 18 for dry dropper, depending the size of the fly. Thanks for watching and commenting Jeff! Tight lines!

Not PA for this one :)

Thanks Mike! More good tips to bring fish to the net.

Glad you like it!

There are a bunch of ways to connect them: Tippet Ring Blood Knot Small Perfection loop tied in UV Splice and more.... This video was going for the "simple way" and I have found this is the easiest and most overall effective for any person to master and work confidently. I would likely wager the "best" way is to do the small perfection look tied in. To each their own on how they do it though. Tight lines and thanks for watching and commenting.

Was just there this past weekend. It was awesome!

@@tightliningmd Are you going to do a video of it? The water was somewhat low, but glad you had an awesome time. We're going out tomorrow.

No videos. I barely got to fish for me. Maybe 30 mins each day during just after guide trips. Caught a bunch. But this weekend wasn’t about me.

Glad you enjoyed it. This was fun to make and I am glad people are enjoying/learning from it. Tight lines!

Thanks for watching! I appreciate the feedback and hope you have fun on the water. Thanks Mike!

Ed! Thanks for watching and sharing with the group. I am really looking forward to meeting you guys in July and talking fly fishing with your group. Hopefully someone in the chapter can try it out on their own with this video as a building block, then I can help answer questions when I am there in person. Tight lines till then and I hope the products you selected treat you well!

Thanks for the feedback Dale. As someone who know their way around a stream and Euro Nymphing, it is great to hear your words of affirmation. Tight lines and I look forward to hopefully connecting this summer!

I want to bring the speed of leader, which is above the surface, to "at or slightly slower than the pace of the current". Which is essence would mean the flies are doing about the same as well, if not more. Hope that helps. Tight lines on the water!

Thanks! Appreciate you watching and being a member Art. Congrats on that Driftless Brown, a real stunner!

Thanks a lot Jaron! I really enjoyed fishing, teaching, and editing for this one. I figured it might help someone, and if nothing else people might enjoy the fishing side of things. Tight lines out there!

Hi Henry

Thanks man. I don't mind a good stocker bashing session every once in a while. Was fun to try some new things and have some success. Tight lines!

I know, right? I showed my daughter that part too. Very unique! Tight lines out there Scott!

Days a part is pretty cool! I don't think ive have any noticeable encounters of a fish I have gotten later on a different trip, but in the same hole. I did catch the same fish once before in the same day. Nice 15-16" brown. He was in a different spot the second time and at a different nymph a few hours later.

Thanks Cliff. Always good for the soul to get out for a bit. Tight lines brother!

Thanks for watching and commenting Art. Hope you are well and I will be seeing you on Monday for our monthly YT Member meeting. Tight lines buddy!
