Next Level Nymphing: EURO NYMPHING Casting Techniques
It is simple. If you want to improve at Euro Nymphing, you must become a caster. It is the difference maker.
Being a great caster has NEVER been a hindrance, it only makes you better (No matter what type of fishing you do). But, not only do you want to have the basic fundamental cast down, you want to be able to expand on it. Don't become one-dimensional. This will allow you to tackle any situation. You'll be able to adjust your angles based on current speed and depth. Cast under trees. Cast when you have obstructions behind you. You know how to deliver your bugs based on any situation. The better you get at casting, the more it becomes muscle memory and it just becomes natural. The most important thing is you will NOT be lobbing anymore.
Moving away from lobbing and becoming a caster is the biggest separator in Euro Nymphing. It WILL take you from Good to GREAT.
Join me on the stream as I fish (and catch!) brown trout and talk about the different types of casting that you encounter in a day's fishing.
Hope you enjoy.
Tight lines,
Cory

Take EURO NYMPHING to Another Level: PERFECT Your Drifts!
มุมมอง 8Kหลายเดือนก่อน
Getting the perfect drift while nymphing is crucial. It is THE way to put more trout in the net. But do you HAVE to get a 20-30 foot long in the exact seam on every cast? The answer is no. Do you always have to fish within a rod's length? No. Sometimes all you need are 5-10 foot drifts for success (sometimes shorter!). The important part is they need to be perfect. Concentrating on shorter, per...

Clever Tippet Hack: Making your Spool Last Forever

As fly fisherman, there are extra things we need to take to the stream with us. Tippet is one of them. We have to have backup spools in case we run out.

      Martin, It is no different than a traditional fly cast. If I am casting 30ft, I could have 20ft out and shoot the rest. Once the cast is out, I can false cast 30ft of line. Check out this video here. It may help: th-cam.com/video/KIdUsRB9ERY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=TRPegpLCw1LigrOF

      Thanks, Larry. I treat all CDC flies with Loon Lochsa just after I tie them. Once on the stream, they are ready to go. After each fish, rinse it in the water or after a few dunkings, squeeze the water out and dry it, then brush it with Frog's Fanny and they are good to go. You'll know when to dry them because it will start to sit lower on the water. Hope this helps.

    Thank you for the lesson on a smorgasbord of fly casts and how and where to apply them. On the subject of losing fish... as of late in the past month my % of lost fish to caught fish has been 3-1.. Normally I feel I land 4 fish to 1 lost and maybe even better than that. . Is it because during the summer months I'm using 18s and 20s vs spring time 12s and 14 size flys ? (Barbless) or is it the fish are more fiesty in water temps in the 60s ? OR maybe could it be as summer comes our waters produce smaller fish that wiggle like mainacs more that pull and fight ? Instead of fishing and reacting automatically I'm starting to think of what I'm doing. That's not good. Thanks

    • @OldDominionTroutBum
      @OldDominionTroutBum 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Glad it was helpful, Dave! When it comes to losing fish, it’s just part of fishing. Barbless hooks don’t cause you to lose fish-that’s a misconception. I actually think they hook fish better. It just happens. Can smaller hooks have a hard time holding them? Sure. There are days I fish and never lose a fish. There are many factors that can go into losing them. Maybe that’s a great idea for a future video. Appreciate you watching.

I had a box of various sizes so was able to do that for most of the blank but for the very tip. Went out in the rain today, worked absolutely fine. Same concept but a slightly different solution with the advantage of rings to hook dropper flies into when moving about.. I am still trying to decide which solution is perhaps the more elegant. But the rings worked perfectly.

    Hello. I like your videos, they are very educational. I am passionate about nymph fishing. And I have a question that I would like you to clarify for me. In one of your latest videos you have used Airflo line in your equipment. And in others you only use Michel Pezon

    • @OldDominionTroutBum
      @OldDominionTroutBum 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hey Javier. Thanks for watching. I use Airflo for my fly line and Pezon for my leader all of the time. In this video my leader was almost 30ft long, plus my tippet. That’s why you didn’t see it much. I like a long leader this time of year, especially if I think I’ll be casting farther. I can always cut it shorter if I want to. When it is colder, I’ll have the leader shorter so I can always have the fly line in my hand because you don’t have the dexterity in the cold like you do when it is warm. Hope this helps.

Would like to see a touch more on why you select a particular fly or pair on a river, especially a river you don't know. I get the weight but not necessarily the fly choice itself.

    Hi Corey, after watching a couple of your videos I realized that I have been lobbing and not casting my micro leader. I was having a heck of a time until I followed your suggestion and went back and studied your casting video and it has really helped. One question I have is that I have always gripped the rod with all of my fingers around the cork and I've notice that you and George Daniel cast with your index finger down the shaft, what is the reason for that style grip ? Thanks much

    • @OldDominionTroutBum
      @OldDominionTroutBum 4 วันที่ผ่านมา

      RJF-the finger will help with accuracy. Point your finger where you want your bugs to go. It also keeps your rod from drifting to the inside like at can with your thumb on top. Lastly, It prevents your rod from going way too far back past the 2 o’clock position on your backcast. With your thumb on top you can easily bring at back behind parallel to the water. With your thumb on top it is impossible.

    • @OldDominionTroutBum
      @OldDominionTroutBum 4 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Appreciate it and glad I have been helpful to you! I like to start out with a little longer leader that will make casting farther easier. I like that option this time of year, especially if I think I’ll be casting farther distances. You can always cut it back, if you need to. In the winter, I may go shorter so I can handle more fly line because you don’t have the “feeling” or dexterity you have when it’s warm out. Hope this makes sense. Tight lines to you.

      Lynn-there isn’t one fish that I catch that I don’t wet my hands. Doesn’t matter if it is a chub, sucker or trout. You can’t see every movement from my hand when it’s outside the view of the GoPro.

    I agree that the 3"-4" dropper tag is ideal, but I sometimes struggle to effectively attach flies to these short dropper tags. Do you have a video that offers insight/tips/tricks for attaching flies onto short dropper tags? What is your preferred knot these days?

    • @OldDominionTroutBum
      @OldDominionTroutBum 4 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I prefer the Davy Knot. You can tie it with little line. Hope this helps.

  • @AlexLeeNewYorkCity

    Hi Cory, I always learn a lot from your videos. Thank you! Decades ago, I learned this knot, probably from an old videotape. I have used this knot ever since for small flies and have developed a faster way of tying it. It uses very little tippet and can be tied almost blindfolded other than threading the line through the eye of the fly. Several fishing guides I have had have asked about this knot, but I never learned its name. I recently made a video of this knot to share with a guide in Montana. I thought you might find this interesting. And if you happen to know it, please let me know its name. Thank you. th-cam.com/video/itqw-Kngyic/w-d-xo.html

    Do you ever have issue with your micro leader twisting up after several casts? I can usually get it to go away by letting the line drift downstream for a few seconds, but wasn’t sure what was causing it.

    • @OldDominionTroutBum
      @OldDominionTroutBum 4 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hey Travis. You will get twist….just part of fishing. But it doesn’t happen that often where I think it is an issue. It is caused by your bugs twisting in the current typically when you are pulling them out of the water when reeling in or casting. Hope this helps.

    Great video Corey, I've been Euro nymphing for about 3 yrs and after watching your videos I realized that I was lobbing the line and not casting it. I changed my set up to your Micro Leader formula and was having a terrible time until I followed you suggestion and revisited you casting video. I was so used to using a circular lob that I didn't appreciate how well engineered the new Euro rods are and that I could actually load the rod with just the weight of the fly. I use the same rod as you, so I knew I just had to trust it and get a new feel for the loading. What a great surprise ! Just like you said, with a little work you can get the same feel you have with a standard fly line load. Thanks very much. One question, other than the extended reach it gives you, is there a functional reason for moving the casting hand forward ? Keep up the Good Work !!

    • @OldDominionTroutBum
      @OldDominionTroutBum 4 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Thank you, RJF. Glad the casting video has helped and you are taking advantage of the design of the rod (and getting rid of the oval). If I understand you correctly. I am thinking you are talking about how I slide my hand forward on my cast? In my casting video, I talk about it…it allows you to pick up more distance without stripping more line out (approximately 3ft or so). Hope this helps. Thanks for commenting and watching.

    Awesome. Have you using a uni knot to create a sliding tag? It seems to stay put on the tippet very well, but not sure how it holds up to a fish strike. Thanks much for your vids! Toney

    • @OldDominionTroutBum
      @OldDominionTroutBum 7 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Thanks, Toney. You can use a Uni, but I don’t prefer it for this. The reason is it gets too tight and it is difficult to slide up and down, or when you do slide it-it stress your tippet out too much. I do like the Uni for putting a new tag on when the original tag gets too short. Hope this helps. Appreciate you watching!

      Thanks, Ron. Appreciate you watching. You need the normal trout and fishing license. Access is along the river, but it is hard to explain. You just have to research a little and drive along the river when you get there to see.

  • @KRUSEELITE
    @KRUSEELITE 12 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Thanks so much for this great tip. My question is, do you stretch the rubber o ring enough to fit it over the butt of your rod and then slide it into position? Or do you just keep the o rings above the first stripping guide? Do you use two o rings? Thanks a lot!

    • @OldDominionTroutBum
      @OldDominionTroutBum 11 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I slip two rings over from above the stripping guide (you can just stretch it to get it over the guide). I use two just for safekeeping. Slip the line under both and tie a couple of overhand knots. It won't move on you. I talk about it in this video here: th-cam.com/video/PIW1Y7c_eT4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=fqTfgKg5B00C-T2J
