Fly Fish Food - Спорт
Modern Nymphing 1 and 2 were game changers, nay life changers for me. This approach has really helped me learn the true fundamentals of Euro nymphing, rather than just flailing with random techniques and fly of the day. When you really understand what you're trying to accomplish, everything starts making sense and falling into place. Catching far more fish than ever before in my life, and having a blast.
This video is an absolute classic. As I fish euro more and more, I keep coming back to this and get more from it. I guess I wasn’t ready for all the details until I have had some experience. Thank you!
Fantastic video guys! First one I've found that takes you through the complete setup from rod to fly(s), maybe I'm biased to Fly Fish Food through UA-cam algorithms, but most I've seen deal with each piece of the puzzle separately, none have put it all together in one easy to understand video. Thanks!
Great info video fellas.
Nightmares tonight about Cheech fishing Tenkara shirtless. Thanks a lot.
Thanks for this lads.I'm gonna get into this euro nypmhing lark this season and this was really helpful.
Good effort lads. It has been a while since I have spent time on UA-cam and this is the first time I have seen this production.
I've had some experience with the Euro style and I reckon you boys covered the important points really well. Hat's off to you. 👍 . . . and greetings from Oz. 🇦🇺
I really enjoyed this. Thank you for taking the time to produce and share this helpful video.
Good info guys, but what anglers don't realize is that a good 10' fly rod will accomplish all techniques, dry fly, nymphing, and streamer fishing MUCH better that a 9' foot fly rod. They are easier to fish as they provide much better line control and you can actually land very large fish as they also offer greater flexibility to protect light tippets. What some rod companies don't realize is that having a small fighting butt helps to balance these longer rods, PLUS makes it even easier to beat big fish quicker. Personally I haven't fished a 9' fly rod for trout for over 40 years. The popularity of using a 10' rod has been sparked by the Euro game and with that anglers are becoming aware of the advantages of using the "long" rod. Great channel......
*Used this rod recently on a river hike in NH. It performed beautifully **enjoyable.fishing** recommend as I had hoped it would, on a whole heap of river smallies using tiny torpedoes and tubes.*
Super cool video and great info!
Cheers from France!
Very informative as usual. Outstanding content. 😊
I loved hearing you talk about running bigger flies up in nh people often have something to say about the size of my fly like their size 22 nymph makes them a better fisherman lol older video but a good one thanks
nice introduction for me!! cheerz guys!!
Great Guys!! 👍👍
Great video!
I’m surprised that you guys didn’t recommend the Sage ESN rod. Sage is the only rod we ever see Lance fishing with.
They dont carry sage at fff and unfortunately they do have Bill's to pay. There telling us about what they have to offer
Another great vid guys, can you do a net setup vid, Olsen has a good vid on this, I have a wooden net that I think is kinda heavy looking to simplify and get a good strong leash like the kind lance was using in his latest streamer vid. Specifically, what nets do you recommend and what keepers for the net…
Thanks Cheech and Lance for the great rundown! Do you have a recommendation for a simple solution for when you're nymphing and start to see rising fish and want to switch to a dry fly? Is there a 'happy medium' fly line that is thin diameter for mostly nymphing applications but has some mass to turn over a dry fly when needed?
So Lance tell us what is your typical leader that you would use during World Championship comp? Also favourite leader material?
You guys rule
Awesome video! Very informative! ..I fish the tailwater of the Navajo reservoir in New Mexico .. I have been euro nymphing for a little over a year and have alot of success with this style ! .. but up in the quality catch and release waters . The fish are alot more picky ..I figured I would be able to catch fish with the small stuff (size 22-28) on my tag fly like I am able to on a indicator rig . But haven't had any luck with that setup . Any tips? Thanks in advance!
Excellent as usual. So when is modern nymphing 3 coming out? 🤔
ahhh-ha moment for me with the reason for using a ESN specific fly line; the handling...
Started euro nymphing this year with a 10’3weight. Most productive year ever for me. My question is what would you recommend for Great Lakes steelhead? A company makes a 10’ 5weight euro rod. Would that still be to light? Thoughts? Thanks.
Do you typically fish a lighter dropper fly with the heavier “anchor” fly? I am just getting into Euro Nymphing and having great success with a 14 Tungsten euro Jig fly coupled with a 14-16 dropper fly with a brass bead. Is it standard to fish two tungsten type flies? Thanks
What do you guys thing about a Redington Zero, on a 10'6" Shadow X? Anyone use click reels on a euro rod?
Great videos and very helpful. As far as the sighter goes, should it be vertical above the water while fishing or partially in the water?
Joseph Ault it should be completely out of the water a few inches depending on the depth.
Above the water (in most cases) - unless you are in deeper than usual water.
Vertical or angled will depend upon the flow speed of the water. In slow/slower moving water, the more vertical your line/sighter, in faster flowing water, the more angled it/they should be.
Love ure videos!
Which Euro Nymph line do u prefer?
TL from Germany!
dankobie the cortland competition nymph braided core or the SA euro nymph.
Well done. It would have been nice if you talked about rod recovery. I have an Echo Shadow II and I wish it recovered quicker. How is the Shadow X?
BSZach1 the X is amazing. Totally a game changer with an amazing price point
@@TheTroutman85 Thanks TheTroutman85.
How do you find recovery vs. the Syndicate P2? I have the Syndicate 10' 3wt and am finding it very slow/noodley and challenging to cast with accuracy.
What would be the best reel, money not an issue, for a Thomas & Thomas Contact II 10.6' 3 weight?
Thanks for the highly informative video. Could you share your opinion of "micro" leaders, leaders whose butt section is as light as 4x. Clearly these leaders are hard to cast, but, as I understand it, most of the high level competitive anglers are using them these days.
Alex Argyros thin leaders like the one you described are great for lessening leader sag and for fishing lighter flies at greater distances. As you mentioned, light leaders are terribly hard to cast with any accuracy. With that in mind I wouldn’t start there, but after you are comfortable handling thicker leader setups try going lighter and lighter.
Please do a “ How to setup a tenkara” 😎
How is that radian for euro nymphing?
Can you euro fish 8 foot runs effectively?
I'd guess that a level line would work, tons cheaper
Could you have a video to show how to fish in Europe nymphing in the river?
Check out Lively Legz vids. Good stuff.
Check out Modern Nymphing on Vimeo.com
How long is your tippet?
Is euro-nymphing applicable when fishing in a lake? If so how can it be applied? Thank you!
alex droban no, not really.
Do you ever run a light braid for the sighter? Isn’t as heavy as mono and more sensitive. Am I missing a drawback?
Sean Dellow after fishing for a bit it will absorb water and make it heavier. Also not comp legal.
Yeah didn’t think of that. Might give it a quick go and see how it works out. Other problem would be connecting the light mono to the braid. Would have to add another tippet ring. Anyways thanks for the reply!
I have never seen nymphs offered with specific bead weight differences. Where do I buy those?
Keith Jesiolowski That’s a good point. A great reason to tie your own because nobody offers the same bug with different beads
I’m going to assume you each have a bunch of euro rods but when the world championship is on the line which one is your go to rod. Lance? Chechen?
Cheech*
I would like to see a Lance vs Cheech tenkara vid in a place with big trout or at least big sticks in the river for Cheech, not shirtless 😁…seriously though thank you for all the good vids.
This is basically what Great Lakes steelheaders have been doing with spinning rods for 30 plus years what I don't get is no one will talk about if this can be used for steelhead sure seems like it's a small trout technique only unless you go back to spinning rods or your bottom bouncing with seven weights
4:50 has happened to me. Slipped right into the gears and ruined the day. Quick tip Always bring tools with you folks! Or buy a really good reel.
How does the new Clearwater 10’ 3weight compare to the recon and echos?
steve goguen It’s a bit heavier than the recon but it’s a great stick in its price range.
I’m debating on the echo and the Clearwater. Any input? I like the idea of 25 yr warranty on the Clearwater. Echo is a great company but honestly where will they be in 5 yrs.
steve goguen you won’t go wrong with either one
Great info, but geeeez you have to take a college credit course to learn all the different aspects of fly fishing. 3 different types of line on one setup, thousands of flies ,dozens upon dozens of rods and reels with different lengths and weights, and all this stuff isn't cheap. What if I want to use a dry fly, I need a completely different setup? I'll just stick to my ultra light rod and spin reel with one 6lb line for fishing with lures, bait, and flies.
Whatever makes you happy man.
How about drop shotting in combo with euro ?
You could do it, but why not just make the "drop shot" a heavy fly?
@@FlyFishFood easy to adjust weight, lose less flies, just the split shot slides off or breaks it's weaker line...i'll give it a try in snaggy areas
unionse7en yeah. Fair enough. It’s just really easy to adjust depth by just lifting your rod. The advantage of using a fly instead of a split shot is that they might be hugging really close to the bottom where only the split shot goes. If it’s a fly it gets eaten.
How do I order sighter line if I live in canada
Keiran Rooker we ship to Canada bud. Just send ‘er.
Fly Fish Food I saw you guys do debit I don’t have money right now cause I just got back to work but I was wondering do you guys have whiting tailing packs coq de Leon pelts?
Keiran Rooker We are out of tailing packs right now
When tying your own flys what weights would be best for a heavy euro fly, medium, and light? I assume you would weigh them with a small scale.
How is that h3 euro rod?
Rudy Gurule really really good!!!!!
I am a newbie, started in July 2018 and went with the “buy once... cry once” theory and got the H3 10th 6” 3 wt. I love it
Jay Townsend Thanks for the feedback man
question, when fishing with a 15 foot butt section how much if any is in the guides of your rod usually?
I fish with an 18 to 20 foot leader, no fly line, and even then a little of my mono running line is in the guides. With blood knots though, there is no hanging up.
Cheech & Chong ;)
Would like your input on the Radian 10' 4wt. I have one and would like to use for both euro nymphing as well as traditional WF line fishing. Thoughts and impressions? Thanks!
The Radian is probably too fast for a euro stick, but it's a great casting rod for normal fly fishing.
Fly Fish Food thanks for your quick reply! Is the tip not soft enough to protect lighter tippets? I’m prob stuck with this for a while before I buy euro specific rod. Thanks again guys!!!
@@srv29 Yeah, I'd say the tip isn't soft enough for hard hook sets and light tippet.
Is "Euronymphing" just reinventing the wheel?.......asking for a friend
