I had grand plans for this video but in the end the constraints of filming and fishing on my own meant that alas it is not the video I wanted to put out. The subject matter is vast as well as complex. Even with a camera crew I would toil to cover the nuances of this way of fishing in a series of videos.
Instead I hope it gives you a flavour of the method and helps to motivate you into giving it a go. I cannot recommend the two books enough if you want to burrow deep into the weeds of the method. I have used the term 'Euro Nymphing' as an umbrella term for all the various aliases Czech Nymphing, French Nymphing, Spanish Nymphing, Tight Line Nymphing, Contact Nymphing. I am sure there are many more terms used but essentially it is Nymphing.
What do you call it let me know in the comments section below.
Guys I must apologise, I am not in the habit of putting ads in the middle of a ten minute video. I have corrected this now, a bit stable door I know but nonetheless new viewers will be able to watch the video without interruption from mid roll ads.
Lindsay as ever your fishing info is well balanced and right on point. Every point is backed by experience and proven factual data. Your production values and standards both in the studio and on the water are evolving exponentially. Post production editing ect is on a par with your love of and angling skills. In this ole barbers humble opinion your work ethic has resulted in the best all round channel about fly fishing in all its glories on any platform out there. If you could manage the cut in hours. The next John Wilson is more than ready for mainstream television.
That’s kind of you to say Mick but it is just a hobby, to near to my pension to turn it into something else …..🤣
Great video Lindsay and the music is Awesome pal, all the best and tight lines Peter.
Thanks Peter, glad you enjoyed it.
Really enjoyed that Lindsay, thank you. 👍
Most welcome pal 👍
Fishing is fishing no matter how you catch them. All traditional sports hav some mods. Fine adjustments is great
That’s true👍
Nothing wrong with the method, if its allowed at the fishery. I remember fishing the Tay, when I was a boy, not yesterday and watching this guy getting fish after fish, using a fly rod, troting a worm. This method reminds me of that, but with Nymphs.
Like the Bon Iver soundtrack, by the way.
Thanks Derek, you make a good point a lot of folks don’t recognise it as fly fishing. Each to their own I suppose.
very good. can we have more on euro nymphing.
James, I will be meeting up with some guys that can do it really well and will try and do a better video in the near future.
How is the braid sighted attached, and is it just normal braided line thanks.👍
Hi Robert, it is attached with a surgeons knot and the stuff I use is the core of a product called Miracle Braid.
Could anyone tell me what model of my box is mounted on top of chest pack in this video. I've been looking for a CNF design pin on some of this flybox can't seem to find anyone that carries them anymore
The one I have seems to be discontinued but they do something similar amzn.to/3DAFWvK
It is a CFA-50 Chest pack/threader £41.20 available on Amazon. Hope that helps. Tight lines
@@brianmiles5191 This one is slightly different to the one I have very similar design though amzn.to/3DAFWvK
Not proper fly fishing! In pigs eye it is not. We are not Luddite’s split cane rods silk lines with cat gut leaders. There is a reason the Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier is not made from beams of oak and is not equipped with a canvas sails propulsion system. It is called progress. A logical evolution of materials and techniques. When the grayling are hard on the bottom they are simply not going to be tempted by a tiny dry Greenwells Glory. With a normal fly line the factors of drag effectively limits the time even a weighted nymph is in the feeding zone to a couple of seconds. Against the up to two minutes with Euro Nymphing methods. The last forty years have given us so many useful advances. Whatever comes next? It will surprise and amaze us.
Some folks cling to tradition and there is a place for that. It’s a bit like religion everyone has the freedom to choose for themselves. Just don’t try and enforce onto others.
@@lindsayiflyfish Tradition is to be respected. As are the freedoms of personal choice. Our hobby is for most of us just that. Time by the water. With a possible bonus of the chance of landing a few fish. Be they safely returned. Or as a combination of preference and rules of the water some for the table. Yes if your method of choice is a delicate dry set up for small trout on a stream. And you enjoy it. More power and we respect your choices. If that same angler turns up to fish a spate river for a large fresh run salmon. Or for a boat session on Rutland when the fish are feeding fifteen/twenty feet deep. Then a probable change of tactics and tackle could be considered. Even with the person using a over hundred year old rod. They just might even if they are using a silk fly line. Use a modern copolymer leader material. The comparative ease of a modern matched fly line could make a tremendous improvement to the day’s fishing.
What is the controversy, Am I missing something? The use of braid?
