Another excellent detailed presentation from Simon pitched at the right level for fly fishermen of all levels , thank you Simon look forward to your next upload.
You don't actually need the rod to start this style of fishing, though it will certainly help as you get into it. The line and leader are the essential items. 🙂
Hello, great video. How about instead of a tag for the second nymph we tied on the eye of the hook? I can think of few positives and couple negatives but never tried it
Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for commenting. You can certainly tie the second nymph on to the eye of the first - many people do, but it does impede the action of the first one slightly as it is tethered on both ends. Most hardcore Euro nymph anglers don't like this, but it still gets fish.
Not very long at all - just enough to fish this technique. RIO has a "Euro Nymph Shorty" line, which is inly 20 feet long, but works very well indeed for a quick fix when added to a regular fly line.
@@FarBank how do they help you rig when you use them for your droppers? So your saying if your fishing two nymphs to use 2 tippet ring or if your using 3 nymphs to use 3 tippet rings, so what happens when u get snagged u lose 1 or 2 tippet rings each snag, that could be easily 5 times a session that’s 5 to 10 tippet rings per session that adds up $$$ pretty quickly don’t you think? Also if you use a tippet ring to tie a dropper on your rig you have to tie 3 knots instead of 1 simple triple surgeons knot. Plus tippet rings pick up weed and algae and slime all the time. All u need is one tippet ring below the sighter which will stay on your rig permanently usually. It’s crazy you didn’t steer people to a triple surgeons knot and instead told them to use tippet rings for droppers. 1 knot vs 3 knots and no cost vs $$$$, it’s a no brainer. It’s bad information and just marketing, tippet rings in Australia are $2 each there not cheap to be using where they actually create more work more knots more chances of failure when u have 3 knots vs 1 knot.
@@nathgriffiths5988 I think you need to calm tf down and quit your whining. All upet over some goddamn tippet rings. You are what's wrong with Fly Fishing. It's simply another way to rig so either use it or don't dude.

Absolutely brilliant Simon!!!! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed the episode, and thanks for commenting on it. 😀
More stuff to buy, been nymphing without an indicator since the 80’with a medium action rod and working just fine, love to try the line though.

Best fly fishing tutorials, thank you 😊
Thanks for commenting - glad you enjoyed it
Fascinating, so much to learn, for now I'll stick to traditional fly fishing. I need to master that first...
It's a long, wonderful path - hope you enjoy it 😄
Great explanation and examples ….
Thanks - glad you enjoyed it. 😀
Nice video, thank you

@@FarBank thank you for the answer! Looking forward to the new videos
@@chukolna triple surgeons knot easiest knot to tie easier than a clinch
How long should the fly line be on your reel?

they just want to sell tippet rings
They certainly help you rig

If you can’t afford a lousy tippet ring, fly fishing is not for you. Maybe try watching golf, or doing a little lawn bowling.
@@nathgriffiths5988 Tippet rings are so cheap, do you measure out your tippet by length or $$$$ ?
this is the worst information ever, so much wrong info. using tippet rings for each dropper is hilarious.
What else other than the fact, that you can use tippet rings?
Not at all, makes it so easy to swap out dropper flies quickly without altering the rest of the leader.
