I am a teacher and an avid fly fisherman. Teaching, like fly fishing, is an art. I have seen tons of fly fishing videos, many by big name fly fishing companies. I can't think of many that are better than this one. The way that you present the information is spot on and the tips are all stuff that works. Keep up the good work!

Rod/reel combo with fishing kit as an emergency setup kzread.infoUgkxntWMOZsO1Zfv-pdn_XuffEtNkTYAYu4Z recommend but started to use this every day. The rod is thick and seems durable. I keep it neatly tucked into a regular backpack all the time with my fishing gear, and can grab it anytime, put it on my back and go anywhere. I just read in another review that the rod length below the reel is adjustable as well, so I will try that too for even more portability. Probably the best setup I've ever owned. I lost the cap for the eyelets, but no big deal since I still have the black cloth sheath that came for the pole and I use that. Very portable and high quality.

This is the first euronymphing that I’ve seen in 3 years that is actually useful for all skill levels. Well done and keep it up 👍🏻

So many of us do things similarly. Over the years (40 plus for me) fishing nymphs like this I'm still tweaking my set-up. I have several leader formulas, most with two sighters incorporated in them. I find I'm always analyzing my presentation to get the best drift. What I've seen is that some of the differences in set-up don't really provide a benefit other than a confidence factor; however, that confidence factor is very important. Good job, Dan.

Just learned this technique this weekend while Fishing Wolf Creek Hatchery stream in Kentucky. A very nice gentleman from England took the time to show me how to tie the tandem rig knot and how to follow the line back down just as you done. I was catching trout when no one else was. He showed me how to tie in the indicator line between the leader and tippet. The two colored indicator line made seeing the strikes easier. He gave me several feet of the indicator line. Now I’m back home looking for a spool of 5x indicator line. I’m new to trout fishing. I recently fished the Yellowstone, Beaverhead , Madison and several small creeks in Montana.

I have skipped steps 1 through 500. And just by my usual leaders and put a 4" spot of fluorescent orange or green spray paint at 3 feet and six feet above the tippet. I did a lot of nymph fishing with just a leader, no indicators of any kind just seat of the pants and caught trout but with the paint spots it's like taking candy from a baby.

I use it on my spinning rod and as my leader on my fly rod

Ran across your video the day after I tried this technique for the first time using my 11' 4wt. My primary problem / issue was casting, as there is no weighted "fly line" to throw. I developed a kind of flip / casting method like I had a spinning rod in my hand, but with the two flies not generating much weight my line did not go out as far as I wanted. I note that this video looks like he's using a traditional fly backcast, which did NOT work with my 20' of mono / site line / leader / flies setup. Any advice? Thanks for this video!

great video, I personally just use my standard floating line with just about a foot out the tip of the rod for turn over. Then for the leader I use flouro for a foot then a sighter made from alternating Orange and yellow Dacron (bind splice loops on either end and double surgeon knotted sections) then 3 feet of flouro to a small barrel swivel then a tippet of around 18 inches. I attach the flies same as you. My system is free and made from stuff I already had. A lot of hard core Euro people will say my system isn't ideal but it works fantastic and is so much simpler than many people make it out to be.

I have used the 100% flouro P-line 2 pound and it is nowhere near as strong as the flouroclear 2 pound. It is thinner in diameter but it is nowhere as good as the flouro clear. I don't notice any different sink rate between the two lines. Since the 100% flouro is thinner it will sink faster, but I have no confidence in that line in 2 pound. I just use the flouroclear.

@HardwayOutdoors

Lewis normally I will just attach 5-6 feet of tippet onto the tippet ring. And by keeping a more “parallel” leader to the water I can prevent my flies from snagging as fast. Then if I move to deeper water I will just hold my rod tip higher and create a more vertical leader. I will shorten up my tippet length if the fish seem to be a little picky. Then I will adjust it to the depth. Thanks for watching!!

There are some great little mini trash cans for line which fit on your belt where we can put our cut line in and then dispose correctly.

Yes I prefer a 5-6 foot piece of tippet off my tippet ring. By changing the angle of my sighter or height of it off the water I can cover different depths without changing tippet length.

Nice video. I've also searched for less expensive tippet options. The problem with a "fishing line" such as the P-Line is that it's only 2 lb. test in 6X equivalent. RIO FlouroFlex Plus, for example, is 3.6 lb. test in the same diameter. So I think you're just giving up too much. If I need to save money, I would go with standard tippet first before I gave up so much in strength (almost double). RIO Powerflex comes in a guide spool at 100 yds for $10 at 3.4 lb. Their new Powerflex Plus is more expensive at $10 for a 50 yd spool but tests at 4.0 lbs which is actually double what you're using. I'm not affiliated with RIO in any way, it's just the one I sometimes use so I'm familiar with it. But I think you'll find the other brands like TroutMaster or what have you are also much stronger than what you're using. I just think if you hook a larger fish in current or near brush you're just at too much disadvantage with 2 lb test. With all the money we spend on fly fishing stuff, I can't justify that.

spikeconley thanks for voicing your opinion. I know there is a lot of back in forth about tippet all the time. I just use P-line because that’s what I like and it’s super cheap. Another thing to note is that different companies test their tippet breaking point differently so it can lead to different results. I do know that p-line is insanely strong, especially compared to orvis fluoro. P-line is also nylon coated fluoro line. This makes it much more abrasion resistant than just fluoro line. Thanks for watching!

Hey Dan! Very good tutorial for Euro-Nymphing. I don’t necessarily do Euro or use the mono rig but essentially the first part of my drift method is the same. What I incorporate in most of my drifts is in the second part of my drift, the swing and then just letting your rig hang downstream at the end of the drift for 5-8 seconds. I catch so many fish in the last part of my drift it’s ridiculous. The bad part though is a lot of fish are barely hooked that a lot get off, but I do land a lot also. Incorporating the swing and the hang, I feel, adds up your percentage of hookups and gets the most outta each drift. You definitely have to have more patience with this method, it’s not like running and gunning of Euro or high sticking, but it’s awesome when that fish smashes it right at the end when you just think your drift is done. Again, nice job buddy! 👍🏻
