This was a great video, Devin! I often get the same question, but I don't fish from a drift boat ever. Now I will send everyone to this video who asks! Thanks!
Devin, I couldn’t help but notice pretty much all your nymphs with a hackle collar are cdc. I know the blowtorch was originally tied with hen hackle but in recent years and formulas they’re all cdc. Curious to know if you favor cdc for your nymphs with a hackled collar and why?
@@azurenscens yes if I’m adding soft hackle these days I generally use cdc. It moves more and folds into the fly when sinking. It’s also easy to break to the desired length with fingertips.
Great tutorial, Devin. My dad and I have been doing this on the White River in Southern Missouri for ~6 years. You're right, it is a team effort! The person on the oars plays as big of a role in success as the angler (maybe even bigger). You're spot on with your suggestions for setup when drifting vs wade fishing (longer rod is helpful, slightly heavier tippet/leader, longer tippet length, and slightly heaver (or sometimes a lot heavier) bead size to cover variable water depth and less than ideal drifts situations). -Cheers
Having never nymphed from a boat and not likely to in this lifetime it was still a great video. One question. If you could only have one nymphing rod what would you choose? Make and weight. Thanks
Im not the right Devin, but I’d put my bet on a 10’6” 3wt. Dries, nymphs, small streamers, no problem! Big enough to horse 20” fish, finesse enough to detect bites. I’d also recommend echo rods if you’re just getting into it, try a carbon or shadow x!
That's a pretty tough question. I don't think I could narrow it to one specifically but currently my three favorite all around nymph rods are the Soldarini Hydropsyche 10' 6" 2/3, the Hardy Ultralite LL 10' 8" 0/2, and the T and T Contact II 10' 9" 3 weight.

Great Video Devin! Very informative
Glad you liked it!
Unfortunately I get sea sick on a floating dock so a drift boat is a no no for me ! Love the video and I will stick to wading !

Glad you enjoyed it. Hopefully it will help when others ask you the same question.
I could so imagine the rower getting annoyed and pushing me in..
Thanks for the video.
I hope you enjoyed it.
Id imagine that it is easier...
I did it on the Green, works great
That was the first river I thought of to try this
Yup. I do it regularly. Fun way to fish

Yes you can

Glad you enjoyed the tutorial and thanks for the feedback.
What reel is that?
I fished both the Peux Fulgor and the OCR Bighorn in this video.
Works incredibly well actually!

@@devonbustard1623 thanks for the reply "the other Devon" all information is appreciated!!
And good food for thought.
@@tacticalflyfisher3817 thank you for the reply!
i only contact nymph on a boat unless there is a big dry fly hatch
Yes and it’s kind of boring
