Happy to do it Brian. We always get asked so we try to do it when we're filming. Sometimes we forget when we're cramming a last sequence in before rushing back to the car but thankfully we didn't when we filmed this one.
Great video, really well done. The change of perspectives and point of view along with the highlighted areas on fish location are great teaching aids. The music and context shots along with your technical commentary made for a very educational and entertaining experience. Thank you for your generosity
Great video. Seeing you make the slight adjustments to the fly was very helpful. I need to be more conscious of the bottom in areas that look fishy! Nice location!
Thanks Chuck. I'll be working on the tutorial probably in November once we've got all the materials in stock and people are sitting down to their tying benches a bit more again.
Excellant video! Like the way you guys are putting it all together..overhead shots (drone) and adjustment of flys really shows us the water types and how to fish them. Very well done! Thanks!
Thanks Lindsay! I've enjoyed the videos you and Rhys have put together as well. Cracking fish you caught while he was droning in his most recent video.
Thanks Steve. It's a reasonably well known river at this point that definitely is a bit harder to fish than a lot of our other local rivers. Thankfully brown trout are brown trout though and they can usually be caught with a bit of tinkering.
I saved this video to watch later and almost forgot about it. Loved how much u switched up until u found the zone. The more I dial things in the more I realize presentation always trumps pattern.
Glad you enjoyed it Glen. Presentation is definitely the most important aspect. Thankfully fly selection can still be pretty important or else my fly boxes would be really boring.
Love the content. Working on getting a euro set up currently. Waiting for the T&T contact 2 to arrive. Excited to use what you have taught in your book and TH-cam channel, getting a bunch of stuff from your website as well.
Hi Devin, great video as always. I followed your recent trip to Spain on Instagram and wondered if you will be doing a video on some tips and tricks you picked up ( I you picked up any) while over there?
Etienne, I probably won't be doing a video specifically on what I learned in Spain. I promised my friend Pablo that I would guard what we worked on and I'm not going to break his trust.
Thank you for another insightful video! At roughly the 13:30 mark you comment about fishing the super turbulent water many other anglers don't hassle with. We're you fishing (a) the seams of that boiling, turbulent water, (b) right in the main flow, or (c) all of the above? ...And, is it quite likely that there are trout down on the streambed of the faster, main flow water, but possibly not mid water column in the turbulent main flow as it is too much work for them? Thank you!
I was fishing all of the water in that turbulent flow. When the water is turbulent, the speeds throughout the column can change constantly and, given the downwelling that can happen, sometimes the bottom is actually faster than the top. You have to fish through that type of water and see how your drift behaves before you can get a feel for what is happening underneath the surface. The currents you can see on the surface don't necessarily reflect what is happening below.
Great stuff as always 🔥🍻🤙🏻. NEED to see that Back Flop Jig video! Fish a LOT of deeper stuff like that run, where a bomb of a jig like that will do a lot of damage. Any ballpark eta when we might see a video? I want to tie some up now…and it’s time to pass out. Cheers😂🍻
Look up slumpbuster to get an idea of his fly also mentioned in Devin’s book “Tactical Flyfisher.” How he situates the tungsten in the body is a mystery, and causes the fly to behave a certain way.
Blackraventrails Thanks for the tip. I’ve been tying and fishing Slumpbusters for better than 10 years. Doesn’t really help me here like it seems to help you though. Very curious to see how he forms the body and balances the jig with 4 tungsten beads. Never seen anyone use more than 2 incorporated into any fly that I can remember. Can’t wait Devin! Cheers 🍻
@@CoastalBendFishNinja first time I heard of the idea was in Devin, Lance’s Modern Nymphing video. It was briefly mentioned as they were showing that you can fish streamers on a euro.
Fantastic video!!! Question - when landing a large fish that is downstream of you, when do you decide to pull it upstream with the rod vs moving your feet to get below it?
I usually do both at the same time. I will always try to chase the fish unless deep water or obstructions prevent it or of I risk spooking other water that I haven't fished yet. th-cam.com/video/Yt8imz8IbcM/w-d-xo.html
I was doing both at the same time a lot in this video. I always try to maintain the rod angles I talk about in the fish fighting video unless I have to force a fish away from an obstruction. However, I will also move my feet to try and get even with or below the fish while maintaining the rod angle and pressure.
Devin, I haven't I haven't figured out the mop fly. Since it doesn't resemble anything I can think of I just don't have a strategy for using it. Connor once mentioned that you use it quite often, nder what conditions do you typically use it and do you use it as your point fly ?
Do you ever make it out to California to fish? I started euro nymphing about a year ago now and the most productive fly that I catch probably 95% of the fish on are waltz worms I’ve tried all kinds perdigones and have yet to find a fish that will eat them. Just wondering your take on it if you have experience fishing out this way.
I used to live in California. Perdigons were just as effective for me there as anywhere else. In fact, it was while fishing with my Spanish friend Luis while living there that I discovered just how good they are.(see this blog post I wrote www.tacticalflyfisher.com/blog/butano-nymph-fly-tying-tutorial/) Not sure why they aren't working for you but if you keep fishing them I'm sure that will change. You can always just enjoy what's working for you as well.
Great content Devin! Question for ya.. I purchased some of your ceramic nymphs that arrived today here in Charlotte NC. Let me say it’s a gorgeous fly, but a lot lighter than I anticipated it would be. Having never used this type of fly for nymphing before I was curious if you could offer some recommendations for rig setup?? Is this supposed to be used with split shot on 6x? Thanks man
Edwin, ceramic nymphs are most commonly used for sight fishing in shallow to mid-depth water. You can use them on a euro rig for the similar depth and speed water. They will sink better if you are fishing a micro leader that reduces your sag. If you are fishing a thicker leader, you'll probably need to pair them with a heavier fly or with shot.
So much fun to watch you in action and to learn that you aren't perfect! I took a euro nymphing class two weeks ago and now I'm a true believer, having caught three 19-21 inch rainbows and > 20 others on my two subsequent days fishing on my own! I also went back to watch your Adaptive Fly Fishing and Modern Nymphing videos again -- I learned so much more with one more year (3) of fly fishing experience! I struggle with one issue, however...I don't tie my own flies (yet) so it's difficult for me to translate the "2.8" vs "2.5" vs "3.3" mm, etc., bead comments you offer to my fly purchases, which are by fly size, i.e., 12 vs 14, vs 16 vs 18, etc. I understand the need to change weights based on your comments but the references to bead size loses me. Is there a rough translation to fly size? I haven't seen flies for sale based on mm bead size...can you offer any help with this? Thanks so much for all the knowledge you share! Richard
Often times they can be the same size fly, just with a variety of beads to target different parts of the water column or deal with different current speeds. That's part of the problem with buying commercial flies -- *most* of the time you're stuck with a single size bead for each size (12, 14, 16, 18, etc.). My advice: get a vise and start tying.
Hi Richard, I would suggest you get into tying sooner rather than later simply because of the customization you can make to your situation as well as for the enjoyment. Some of the flies we sell on our site (a lot of the new Fulling Mill flies for instance) come with a specific bead size labeled. For those that don't, typically most commercial flies are tied as follows: #18 = 2mm bead, #16 = 2.3 mm bead, #14 = 2.8 mm bead, #12 = 3.3 mm bead, and #10 = 3.8 mm bead. One more reason to tie your own flies is that you can use "oversized" beads on smaller flies that will help you get more weight in a smaller package. So much of my fishing is done with size 16-20 flies but a lot of times I need a bead size larger than what you would find on commercially tied flies of the same size.
@@tacticalflyfisher3817 This is so helpful! I'd been planning to start tying your favorite nymphs this winter. My brother gave me a nice vise and I'll plan to take a course to get the basics down. I went nymphing yesterday and caught another 10 trout! My new favorite technique! Thanks for the videos!
Towards the beginning you stated you were "a little too heavy" for a section of the run. Why did you say that? Were you catching up on the bottom too quickly? I feel like if i'm not catching the bottom occasionally, i must not be heavy enough or must not be getting down to the fish. I think knowing you are near the bottom when you can't see the bottom is confusing me. I only have access to big deep rivers right now (lower Deschutes) so I can't really see the bottom of most holes. Advice?
Yep. I want the downshift I talked about by the midpoint of the drift but I don't want to be ticking bottom more than every 3 to 4 drifts, unless the river shallows up in the second half of the drift. I also never want that ticking to be right away or in the first 1/3 of the drift, unless there is a shelf I'm trying to slide my flies over. Bottom ticking should only happen in the last 1/3 of the drift. If I am bouncing along the way I know my point fly is under the fish and that is counterproductive.
Scott, I was fishing the 10' 9" 3 weight in this film and that's the rod I fish more often than any other. I have the full suite of Contact IIs and a bunch of other rods that I might choose for something specific but if I had to have just one it would be the 1093.
@@tacticalflyfisher3817 Iv checked them out recently and that’s the one that seems to have the sweet spot!! Thanks for your time and opinion.. it is a little heavier that the others I will have to pair it with a lighter reel I guess, what reel do you love on that rod?
@@tacticalflyfisher3817 Could you tell me what brand tippet you prefer these days? BTW, another in what is becoming a long line of excellent videos. Thanks.
What rod were you using that day, Devin? I'm unsure if the T&T 2wt or the 10.9 3wt would be better for my use in a similar scenario... Would the 2wt be a little bit light for those fish?
Longer rods for bigger waters, shorter rods for smaller waters is the foundation but you decide what is big or small etc. 3wt in euro is an all around use like the 9’ 5wt fly rod is in flyfishing if you were to have one rod. 2wt has more tippet protection(flex in rod tip.) ie. I use a 11’ 2wt with 6x tippet in Yellow Creek Trout club video on my channel. And Devin has a bunch of videos with big fish and more than likely it’s a t&t 10’ 2wt 6x tippet for as mentioned in the beginning.
I used the 10' 9" 3 weight while nymphing that day. It's definitely a better choice for that water in my opinion. I like the two weight for smaller water, lower flows, smaller fish, and sometimes just for the fun of fishing it. The 1093 is a better all around rod though.

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks! Seeing your process of selecting weights and the monologue is super helpful. Also great to see a pro loose the occasional big one.
Glad it was helpful. I try to keep those fish losses as occasional as possible but alas, they do happen from time to time :)

You my man are truly a master! So fun to watch you dissect a run.

Haha! Well thank you but obviously there’s no reason for you to burn your rods. You can just give them to me 😂😉
Awesome video. There’s usually an aha moment or 2 when watching you fish. Thanks for the great content!
So where’s the jig streamer pattern?!
It’s our next tying tutorial. Should be coming in late January or February.
Thanks Devin,great video nice fish. I always get something out of your videos. Why a dry fly leader rather than a euro leader in the video?
I fished both Dale. I fished the dry fly leader when sight fishing and fishing to the rising fish and the euro leader for everything else.

how do you get all the fish to eat? 99 out of 100 fish I sight to either completely ignore what i'm sending, or they get spooked by it.
Well I guess the purpose of my book, our 3 feature length instructional videos, and this TH-cam channel is to help you with that issue.
When do you decide to follow the fish downstream and when can you use that angled side pressure you mention in your other video on fighting fish?
I was doing both at the same time a lot in this video. I always try to maintain the rod angles I talk about in the fish fighting video unless I have to force a fish away from an obstruction.

How do you differentiate between a take and the down shift?
It’s something that just takes experience. The downshift is usually more gradual than a take but obviously some takes can be very subtle.
