Just found your channel. A euro nympher after my own heart. I've tried everything you've tried, starting with Dom' mono rig and came to the same conclusion- I love the Adams leader material. I like 3x and add a few feet of Cortland 4x sighter, then a stopper knot. Much less prone to tangling and wrapping around the rod tip than the Sempe. I also make use of small indicators with this rig. The new XS Oros Indies will hold up a 2.8 bead pretty well, and it is much less hassle than floating the sighter or even dry/dropper. I've found the oblong (not the round) pinch on indicators also cast quite well with a micro leader. Not as versatile as the Oros, as you can't adjust the depth, but even less splash than the Oros. You quote Dom at Troutbitten often. His motto of "do what works" fits well with this approach. Keep up the good work. You got a thumbs up from Cory at Old Dominion Trout Bum, which is high praise indeed.
Thank you for watching and for the support. It sounds like we both like to experiment and try things for ourselves. I am always trying to up my game and try new things/techniques. I have listened to every single troutbitten podcast episode. Many of them up to 4 or 5 times. I love Dom's approach of "doing what works." I also have learned a ton from Cory at Old Dominion Trout Bum. I also love Devin Olsen's stuff and own all of his videos and book. There is so much to learn and every little nugget translates into more/bigger fish. Cory and I fish many of the same waters since we both live in Virginia. A few months ago he and I fished one of our favorite rivers a few weeks apart. We were literally catching the same fish, out of the same lies but on different bugs. I try very hard to be a versatile angler and I like the challenge of fishing new/different water. It keeps you sharp and on your game and you have to be ready for anything. I will throw on an indicator any time the situation dictates it and it is a very effective way to catch fish in certain water types. The Adams is currently my favorite leader material but I've been hearing good things about the new Umpqua stuff and want to try that out soon. I just got out yesterday for a whole day and landed 3 fish at 20" plus around 40 others. It will take me awhile to put together that video but it's going to be awesome. Thanks again for watching and tight lines. Look forward to hearing from you again in the future.
Thanks Jeff. That's the teacher in me. I really want to make content that is helpful to people. Just curious....what did you think of the "fishing facts" at the beginning? I was trying to think of a fun way to give people a snap shot of the day's information in a quick, different format.
@@jeffreyshafran5743 I have been using Cortland tri color indicator mono in the 7.2 lb. The diameter is .008 inches or .203mm which is just a little bit thinker than the adams 4x which is .185mm. You don’t really want you sighter to be much thicker than your leader but this combination has worked great for me for quite awhile. I’ve also been hearing good things about the new Umpqua sighter but haven’t tried it yet. Ideally whatever slighter you pick will be something that you can see well with a diameter that is similar to or slightly less than your leader diameter. If your sighter is a lot thicker than your leader you will be able to see it more easily but it won’t cast well due to a reverse taper.

@@brooktoriverflyfishing I really liked that! Nice touch!! Good idea!
@@brooktoriverflyfishing Quick question! What do you find sighter wise diameter to pair well with that Adam’s 4x mono?
