- Forget all the complex leader recipes, this simple setup lets you get your nymphs exactly where you need them to go.
French, Polish, Czech, Bugging, this simple leader set up lets you fly fish any of these river fishing methods! - กีฬา
Great tutorial Steve. Years ago before euro nymphing became fashionable I used to catch winter grayling on deep fished weighted shrimps just using an extended leader and a floating fly line, with about 2ft of fly line outside the tip ring. The droop in the line acted as my take indicator, as it twitched out straight I'd strike, usually to a twig or rock on the river bed, but now and again a grayling. Obviously using a french leader is much more effective and a great refinement of this method.👍
That's barry Steve you keep it simple and don't over complicate things. Thanks a lot for sharing yer experience.
Ahh you have the famous fly tidy. Great bit of kit.
Fly tying kit and technics 1200s… a man after my own heart there Steve! 👍🏻
You and me both!
Just getting into Nymphing, but been a grayling and river fly fisherman 50 years on dales rivers. Your yellow mono line do have to boil for a few mins as read you have to get rid of memory. Any particular brand you would recommend. Great video for a Yorkshire man with deep pockets, Keep the coming.
nah, you don't need to 'boil in acidulated water' although I do! : ) It's sample line pal so not sure if it's out there yet but any coloured mono will do!
Hello Steve.Do you still partially or fully sink your sighter in summer levels.Do you downsize your nymphamaniac sighter tippet in the summer months.I will need to get some nymphamaniac sighter tippet.Cheers
yes buddy, I go down to 0.16mm
Hello, now I do have a question for you. I understand that with this set up you cast longer then with short line nymphing? If so are the rivers that you fish on populated with forest around them so you are away from the wind? The reason why I ask is that I fish on the Trysil River in Norway where the wind is a huge factor and fishing with a 0.30 mm or a 0.23mm line creates a windsail in the leader. That is the reason why I dont fish with the tapered long french leaders. What are the situations where you fish these leaders with and how big are your nymphs? I guess you would need a tapered leader to transport small nymphs right there where you want to?
yeah big wind are no good, I'll often drop down to 0.16 in a big wind, it's very hard to nymph at range in a big wind, dry dropper, big dry, or streamer
Hi Steve, I know it’s been a wee while since you did this video but what braking strain/diameter would you recommend for the main line
it's a 30mm line so around 12lb
Steve, do you have a colour preference above the tippet ring and if so why?
no buddy, justplain matt blacl
I think you misunderstood me. I am referring to the sighter material.
thanks steve. is this the length you used on the hanak. on the dee. thanks again. jim w.
Yes, it is
@@stevecullenflyfishingflyty7729 thanks steve.for info looks like my tippets
have been far to long. its been hard on the dee this winter. i may be missing
takes with a overlong tippet.will try shorter next week. thanks again. jm w.
hi. what length is your tippet on average. thanks.
1 meter with two flies
Hi Steve! Recently taken to trying euro nymph style of fishing but I’m not tying flies as of yet & really finding it tough to find ones that have the varying weight beads? I’ve searched online but mostly American stuff I find. Any sellers in Scotland that you know of?
hi buddy, I can tie to order for any river, get me here: cullenclan120@hotmail.com
