"How To Euro Nymph Fly Fish" - Far Bank Fly Fishing School, Episode 17

Welcome to another Far Bank Fly Fishing school episode. In this episode we figuratively venture across the pond and dip into the highly successful, fish-catching world of Euro nymphing. Unlike regular nymphing, Euro nymphing techniques don't use a regular type of strike indicator, has a completely different casting style to normal fly fishing techniques, and uses incredibly specialized gear - from the rod, to the reel, the line, the leader and even the flies. On that note, do check your local fishing regulations to make sure you are allowed to use more than a single fly as most Euro nymphing techniques uses teams of 2 and 3 flies. Without doubt it is one of the most effective ways of catching trout in a river, so before you can say peche a la mouche, let's take a look at what is so special about this style of fly fishing.

Hello, great video. How about instead of a tag for the second nymph we tied on the eye of the hook?
I can think of few positives and couple negatives but never tried it

[@FarBank]

Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for commenting. You can certainly tie the second nymph on to the eye of the first - many people do, but it does impede the action of the first one slightly as it is tethered on both ends. Most hardcore Euro nymph anglers don't like this, but it still gets fish.

@@FarBank thank you for the answer! Looking forward to the new videos

they just want to sell tippet rings

[@FarBank]

They certainly help you rig

[@nathgriffiths5988]

@@FarBank how do they help you rig when you use them for your droppers? So your saying if your fishing two nymphs to use 2 tippet ring or if your using 3 nymphs to use 3 tippet rings, so what happens when u get snagged u lose 1 or 2 tippet rings each snag, that could be easily 5 times a session that’s 5 to 10 tippet rings per session that adds up $$$ pretty quickly don’t you think?
Also if you use a tippet ring to tie a dropper on your rig you have to tie 3 knots instead of 1 simple triple surgeons knot. Plus tippet rings pick up weed and algae and slime all the time.
All u need is one tippet ring below the sighter which will stay on your rig permanently usually.
It’s crazy you didn’t steer people to a triple surgeons knot and instead told them to use tippet rings for droppers.
1 knot vs 3 knots and no cost vs $$$$, it’s a no brainer.
It’s bad information and just marketing, tippet rings in Australia are $2 each there not cheap to be using where they actually create more work more knots more chances of failure when u have 3 knots vs 1 knot.

[@nathgriffiths5988]

this is the worst information ever, so much wrong info. using tippet rings for each dropper is hilarious.

[@fedcbaabcdef5608]

What else other than the fact, that you can use tippet rings?
