I have both DVD's on Euro Nymphing and recommend them highly. The technique has elevated my game for sure. There was a mention of "giving away secrets" and that is teaching. There is absolutely no harm in every fisherman getting better. I often share productive flies when I'm on the river and discuss technique. What a great way to spend a day etc. Thanks guys for sharing the knowledge and making me a better sportsman.
Question to Adam Eakle and/or Mickey Anderson: In this video, you each had a hip/waist tool kit of some sort. I have all manner of packs - sling, back, hip, etc. I often use a sling pack. After trying several, I've settled on the sling for me. But, I would more often use a much smaller hip pack if I could find the right one. What pack do each of you use?
Wonderful video. Thanks. I have two questions: 1. How is the thin leader Lance uses to fish across currents constructed (what weight/length/material sections, etc.)? 2. I notice that Lance uses a relatively tight line to his flies. Does he tend to see strikes on his sighter first, or feel them?
You can find his leader formulas in his DVDs on Modern Nymphing. Also they can be found on Devin Olsen's blog at tacticalflyfisher.com Lance recommends seeing the strike rather than trying to feel them all the time. Of course you will sometimes feel them too, or just feel them if you've looked away for a second. I like to use the term "taut" (lack of slack) rather than "tight" (pulling on the flies).

Awesome instructions as always.

It's called The Flask by a company called Rising. Mickey Anderson actually invented them. Here's a link: risingfish.net/product/flask-pack/
