- MY FIRST TIME EURO NYMPHING - Euro nymphing has quickly proven itself as one of the easiest ways to catch trout regardless of the weather conditions. On my first ever attempt we turned an alright day in to a great day in about an hour as I worked my way through a section of creek which was loaded with wild rainbow trout. I hope you all enjoy this small creek mission!

Great vid guys! And thanks for the responsible fishing reminder!
Looks like you need no help out there, but a tip about hook sets. Since you’re tight-line nymphing, a quick/precise 2-3 inch hook set is all you need. No need for a powerful set. Yes, there’s been times in hindsight a stronger set could have prevented a larger fish from shaking me, but much rarer do you miss with a perfectly timed quick set ;) “hook sets are free” they say.
Also, second using sighter material. Something I picked up spending time tenkara fishing, using a slightly stiff level line. When holding that sighter just above the water surface, if it has a kink in it that becomes the most sensitive strike indicator on the planet. Give it a try, hope it works for you! Cheers.
Thanks for the tips!! Yeah I know my hook sets were a bit off. It had more to do with me not exactly knowing what a strike was than anything else. I've even watched people euro nymph so I know exactly what you're talking about. It is just something I'll get the hang of with time. The sighter thing with a kink in the line is brilliant!! I'll definitely have to remember that.
Thanks for watching!
Good job! It's a killer technique and not too difficult once you learn the basics. Remember, get your nymphs down to the bottom and that the flow is slower there so keeping your line off the water will minimize drag on your fly. Tight lines, guys!
Thanks for the tips! And thanks for watching!
I like the way you guys fish, and that creek looked like a lot of fun. Perfect size trout for a 3wt or tenkara rod. I watch videos like yours for the vicarious escape, so I appreciate hearing the water and splash of the fish and not overly loud music. Looking forward to your next episodes
@@williamkaylor1191 Thank you so much!
Yessir! Some of my favorite guys using my favorite style/set up. Good that you have that new set up from Risen. I have a 23PS too, but not the euro rod. I am sure it is good tho. Great company and good due that owns it. Nice job in the first segment of video where you let the nymphs swing in that quick riffle, when you were upstream of it. I don't know if getting 3 for 3 is common though :) I have done it maybe 6 or so times. Cool when it happens, but rare. So heck of a job! Also, since you asked for feedback last time... here are my thoughts:
Wind in line with you left hand as the drift comes toward you to pick up slack to avoid drag.
Set the hook a little harder, not a bass set, but more than just a small lift of the rod. Especially with barbless.
Look into sighter material possibly, if you have some already get it closer to water and not so high up in guides.
After you cast do a quick rod tip raise and that drives flies down quicker into water. Very helpful in faster/deep water (tuck cast)
As I say all of this keep in mind you literally have a shot counter of all the fish you caught lol. Look forward to fishing with you sometime to help explain more.
Keep up the great work guys. Love it!
Yeah when I watched the footage I realized my hook sets were weak at best. The reason though was because I was unsure of what a strike looked/felt like and if I truly set the hook I'd probably end up in the bushes. So I was a little gun shy. It is definitely something I will work on as I get better. I also agree with the line management, that is something that I used to struggle with when I first started fly fishing but has gotten better. It is just easier to have poor management and still be successful because not much line is ever out at any given time.
Thanks for the tips!! I'll definitely put them to use next time I'm out here in a few weeks. Just trying to be able to tight line like Mike!
Thanks for watching man
@@hardmanfishing Funny you say about gun shy. Just had that problem today on the water. Trees and branches everywhere. Was handing up all over the place. However, I follow the mantra hook up or hang up. So if I get hung in a tree on a good cast, or setting the hook, I can live with it as long as the process is right. Totally get where you are coming from though, and I still do that same thing. The reality is, that it is easy to play monday morning quarterback from a computer chair. So without being there I can't have all the info, and odds are you know what to do. You had a great trip for a reason. Tweak a little, but keep doing what you are doing!
@@tightliningmd Yep I am just programed to avoid snags. It's like something that I do almost subconsciously as I'm fishing. Either way I welcome all of the tips/advice I can get!
Great video and thumbs up, greetings from New Zealand.
Thanks for watching!
Haha, that’s awesome! I fly fished next to an old man euro nymphing, I caught one fish that evening and I watched him catch 5 in a matter of minutes🎣🎣, you’re catching more fish than I ever do fly fishing for bluegill😂🎣🎣👌awesome video! Beautiful bows
Yeah Euro nymphing is pretty awesome!! Thanks for watching man!!
Loving the fly fishing videos
Thank you!!
Thanks for sharing wow beautiful nature beautiful trout big like good wee kend stay safe
Fun to see the euro style being used in smaller waters. It’s amazing how much further you can cast with the bow and arrow technique and then not spook the fish. Just difficult to set the hook sometimes on creeks when trees are overgrown.
Good job guys...not rocket science, but science nonetheless. Didn't see your set up, but I like to tie a double surgeon knot and leave one tag end about 5-6" long and tie your top fly off that. Like to fish a heavy fly up top and a smaller, unweighted fly on bottom,14-18" apart. Heavy top fly gets down on bottom and trailing,unweighted fly rides a little off bottom, like an emerging nymph..get to bottom quickly and stay there as long as possible...Those " cooperative" rainbows made it look easy ! Just kidding,believe your a natural bottom nympher...I'm just an old man,not able to fish much anymore, and I enjoy passing along ,what I hope to be helpful tips. Always look forward to new videos.
Nah I'm sure those fish did make it look easy!! I 100% would not have tried a new technique somewhere where I thought it would be a struggle to catch anything. Learning a new technique can be frustrating if you don't catch much so you never know if you're doing something wrong or not. But I'll definitely try and check out using a unweighted nymph, it sounds like a great idea! Thanks for watching
@@hardmanfishing I like a 8-10 heavily lead wired stonefly pattern (lead mashed flat) on top and a 16-18 no weight wet fly on bottom...no tail,natural rabbit fur body,small copper ribbing,couple turns of brown starling hackle..quick,easy,effective..tie on curved shank hook
Healthy looking trout. Now you have me craving a little cast on the fly rod. So I must go do some fishing now. Wasn’t planning on it today but why not. Great video guys. Keep them coming in hot. Fish on.
Great vid, you connected well with the euro nymphing!
Thank you! It may not be pretty at times but I got the job done!
I've been thinking of trying this style out! Great video
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed
Love the fall colors as well 🍂😉😊
That's one reason I like being out this time of year!! Although the leaves in the water aren't fun
Some beautiful rainbows! I think I may have to give Euro nymphing a serious try (a case of teaching an old dog new tricks). Thanks for the conservation messaging about not fishing browns and brooks during the fall spawn. Another great video! ... and I saw one of your videos on MidCurrent this week! Well done!
Yep we're learning it ourselves and as you can see its pretty awesome!! I would definitely recommend it, especially if you already have experience fly fishing. But I'm not even sure if I know what mid current is... either way thanks for watching!!
Love the fishing guys!!!
Bellissimo bravissimi
Love Fall fishing too
It really is the best!
Nice video 😀👍
Thank you!
It's a river that you can catch really well. It's not so easy to fish in Japan. I want to visit once.
Maybe one day I'll trout fish Japan! I've seen some videos. Thanks for watching!
Love the vidz boyz....this was awesome to watch while waking up with a cup of coffee...quick thought tho....don't the rainbows spawn at the same time of year as the browns and brooks?🤔
Thank you!! And nope, rainbows spawn in the spring. Their peak spawn is usually around April, but can spawn as early as January and as late as may/June. Kind of depends on the creek. Of course that is in my area, it is possible that other parts of the world/country they do something different.
Try using less tippet when you’re fishing in shallower water like that so you can see more of your sighter.
I agree! Honestly that just came down to us being too lazy. I just wanted to fish that stretch briefly before we moved down further into the river so changing it seemed like more hassle than it was worth.
Thanks for watching and for the tip though! Maybe we should be more willing to adjust
Looks like a creek by my house that's a non stocked anymore creek of browns and rainbows
What flies were you using? I like that black fly, and it'd be dope to add it to my arsenal.
That first trout looked like a cross between a Brookie and a rainbow
It was just a rainbow.. but a gorgeous young fella! Thanks for watching!
Brobow?
@@Pwrcritter Maybe 🤔
Wht is the rig you used? thank you
Are you in West Virginia today?
Yes this was in WV but the video was shot a several weeks back (as you can tell by the leaves in the trees!)
Keep them wet at all times
It’s not suppose to be that easy...those fish were starving
Right lol? Incredible!
Well they aren't starving or the population wouldn't be that good! Thats about as healthy of a population as I've ever fished. I'd say it had more to do with a lack of fishing pressure than a lack of food for these little guys! Thanks for watching
@@hardmanfishing This is why I love small streams :) Sometimes you find gold!
Hey now, it doesn't count unless you touch the fish
HAHAHAHA I knew someone would say that. Honestly I didn't care to land the smaller fish. If I had been on top of it and had a net laying next to me I could've landed just about all of them (maybe...). Thanks for watching Greg!
Careful how you pronounce "Euro nymph"...don't say it too fast... - sounds like "urine ...."... Sorry.
