    We didn’t have a name for it, but in the 90’s this was how I caught all my 24+‘s out of high pressure gold medal waters in Colorado (Cheesman Canyon and the like). Those big trout would see and indicator and KNOW there was a fisherman around.... settle right to the bottom no more white flashy flashy. We would typically use it for sight fishing monsters, so you knew your drift and slow set the hook if you saw it feed where you thought your fly was. 🤙🏼 love the vids 🤙🏼

    Skiing today at Winter Park I looked down at the chair I was getting on and there was a "I'm a Huge Fly Fisherman" sticker on it. Reminded me to watch your video tonight and reminded me to practice casting on my lawn except I don't have a lawn. Is it OK to just practice at a lake with big trout swimming around in it?

    @dirtywaterdiver 4 роки тому

    "Characterized by not using an indicator". You just use Bi-Color line or similar line that is easy to see which you watch for changes in movement of your fly that INDICATES you make have a strike.
    "How is it fly fishing if you're not using a fly line"? Because you are using a fly. (A single-pointed hook dressed with feathers, hair, thread, tinsel, or any similar material to which no additional hook, spinner, spoon or similar device is added) almost always a fly in a nymph pattern.

    I definitely recommend tying or buying some euro style flys with heavier tungsten beads (3.0mm and 3.5mm). My leader is 6ft sections of 20lb to 15lb to 12lb maxima to about 6ft of 2x sighter then a tippet ring.

    Congrats to Mike for winning the Orvis Recon. So what rod length and weight do you guys out there use for tight-line nymphing. I’m using a 11’ 3 wt that seems to work-I catch fish. But it just isn’t any fun. Maybe I’m doing something wrong, repeating a drift 8-10 times, move 2 feet and do the same thing....over and over again. I love tossing dry-dropper rigs to riffles and pocket water for brook and brown trout in mountain streams or even an indicator set up with multiple nymphs for rainbows in local lakes. But even though I catch fish doing it I just don’t find any enjoyment in Euro-nymphing.

    It's interesting to see the argument for bobberless nymphing come full circle, I grew up in the 80's, I saw Joe Humphreys demo his then "new" tuck cast only to have the demo interrupted by him catching a fish on nearly every cast, in those days, the thought of using a strike indicator was sacrilegious. Tying yarn onto your leader?? Where's you worm bobber boy? So now the way I learned to fish nymphs is back and those not using bobbers are being called weirdos, but Euronymphers do add a section of colored leader, so they are weirdos in that respect. What ever happened to watching the line and feeling for a strike? And, if your not hooking the bottom your not deep enough. Stay Huge. Love the videos.

    i don't blame dry flyers for being down on euro nymphing but anybody who nymphs with weight is not that far removed from euro nymphing... Also, is using an indicator better than euro nymphing? i don't know... to me it depends on the size of the stream. Where i live, there are many good small streams. Euro nymphing small streams is pretty darn effective.

    I do hate the term because basically any beginner fly fisherman who uses nymphs are technically euro nymphing. I'd say it's just nymphing. New lingo, such as the new "surfer dude" that's taken over the trout and wing shooting worlds are some of the most non ethical people ive ever met

    The "rules" in competition fly fishing are just damn stupid. Here are the rules (according to me...and also according to me i'm the only person who matters) Rule #1. Catch the fish on a fly with a fly rod (no tenkara) land it in a net and at the end the team with the most weight in fish wins. Like bass fishing...but with less beer belly.
