Amazing video and a Happy Thanksgiving kinda new to euro nymphing what weight line where you using
@@mightyemacstarz9193 Thanks so much for your feedback. I’m using a monorig leader in this video. I’ll drop a link to the video that explains it.
Here’s the video that explains the mono rig leader. ruclips.net/video/BLzTOBBU1oY/видео.htmlsi=xmkVza9yZ_RBNHHE
@@troutstrike cool thanks. Another question if you don’t mind asking but what weight fly rod where you using
Happy Thanksgiving! It was windy! So I had a 3.2 mm on the egg and the pheasant tail was a 3.0. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@troutstrike where you using a 14 or 16 jig hook
14
Happy thanksgiving! Awesome video! What size bead and hook where you using on that pheasant tail!
I’ve got a video coming out soon on tying that pink beaded pheasant tail.
Thanks! Enjoy your thanksgiving
Yeah. Should have gone with a lighter color shirt.
Great pattern though. Works equally well as a tag dropper above a heavier nymph point fly vs as a dry dropper below a more buoyant dry fly.
FYI - Black background does not work very well.
Nice material and pattern. Any preference on bead color? Not sure I could tell bead color in the video. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching and commenting. I usually use copper. I can’t say I’ve noticed much of a difference. I’m usually more concerned with the weight. I like to tie these with a 3.2 mm bead or higher because I like them to roll on the bottom.
Thanks for the Pattern ……. Nothing like a Great 👍🏻 Stone Pattern !!! 🍁 🎣 ☀️
What river is this ?
I try not to spot burn or name the streams I fish. It’s a central pa limestone stream.
I’m fortunate to live close enough to Central Pennsylvania!
Nice stream. Not too many around me. There's a few but only time water levels are high enough is in early spring and DNR shows its a trout stream but never seen or caught trout out of them.
Nice video Jeff. Heading out to where you were it a few days to camp and fly fish. Well done!
Best of luck! I love that place! Looks like you'll have a little bit more water than I had! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Do you sell the Flys you make?
@@truckdrivermm I do.
@@troutstrike Do you have a online store? Or a website?
Stone pony?
Similar but this one takes less time and has a uv black wing case.
Nice. I don't fly fish but seen some other anglers use these flys for pan fish on ultra light rod with light tess line. Don't know if I have the skill to make my own but like your videos.
@@truckdrivermm Thank you very much! I appreciate the feedback! I’m learning to make content much the same way I have learned to fish and tie over the years! I truly appreciate you watching and commenting!

No hatchery trout should ever be stocked over native trout. Hatchery trout are bred to grow fast on dog chow. Hatchery trout have not had their genes honed by millions of years of wild survival. Hatchery trout compete for space & food with wild natives. That being said, there IS a place for hatchery trout where there are no native trout or, for put-and-take habitats that can’t support wild natives.
Well said well done
Each fishery is unique. I think the needs to be true stewarts of a river system is very important. That said, setting any regs without monitoring is why so many rivers suffer. I know of wild trout streams that are over populated and bigger fish no longer survive. Culling can be very important in some systems. Some rivers are so popular that stocking helps protect the wild fish. Water quality needs regular monitoring. Stream restoration can also be a very very important requirement. Bottom line regular monitoring is what will help keep more fisheries healthy. For every action, there is a reaction, and oftentimes, a straight no stocking, no kill reg will not be the right answer. It's just not that simple.
Hi Jeff! Looks like a decent day, each trip you learn more and more and the confidence goes up and up. Good work! 👍🏻
I’ve had better days there but it’s always special to get one on a dry there! I’m sure your recognized all the spots!
Maybe…😅
Humbling river
@@BIGJ3748 It’s such a challenge. But those fish make it worth it.
Hey Jeff, Delaware?
The EweDee needs no introduction! :)
Native brook trout love that thing here in North East PA
I think wild native brook trout need more protection. NJ doesn’t allow the harvest of brook trout. How is it that NJ is doing a better job of protecting our State fish than we are?
I don't know that NJ is doing that great a job preventing the harvest of BT. But we do have some native trout streams. Troutstrike that picture you showed in the video was beautiful.
@@drjjpdc to be fair they don't have a lot to work with. PA is squandering it's abundance of potential.
All wild trout should be protected!!! No stocking should take place on wild water!! Stocked streams are meant for put and take, even then I Don’t Take but that’s me…. If I want to eat fish I will go buy it..
I agree with you on not stocking fish in wild trout habitat! This is really difficult because trout are often stocked into tribs that are part of a larger river system that is able to sustain wild fish. I do believe that wild fish populations would thrive in many places that were not stocked; however, I understand the need for the state stocking program to generate revenue, etc.
I wish we cared about protecting native brook trout as much as introduced species. I also wish people were as concerned with preserving other species (such as native fallfish) as much as some preferred gamefish species. I fish only catch and release and do not chase stocked fish. But I am more concerned with preserving native species than I am non-native species, wild or not.
You make a great point! Our native brook trout streams in PA are still vulnerable! Unfortunately, a lot of that damage was done prior to our generations. Hoping we can protect natives and wilds moving forward!
Love em and leave em
Thank you for watching and commenting!
We as fishermen have to respect our fishery’s especially a non stocked river. If people don’t before you know it will be too late and the damage is done !
Agreed! Wild trout are a treasure. I appreciate you watching and commenting!
@@troutstrike No problem supporting from Ireland 🇮🇪
Yes they are so worth it
Agreed! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Thanks again. Looking forward to your upcoming videos!
I'm sorry. My question pertained to adding weight to the Eggstacy pattern.
@@davidklausmeyer8198 Oh. Yeah. Absolutely you can add lead wraps to those. I tie them with a bead too.
Do you ever tie these with added weight? Lead wire?
@@davidklausmeyer8198 I don’t usually tie perdigons with lead wire just because I like to keep them thin. I do use lead wire on other patterns.
Why is the profile so skinny compared to the bead head in a perdigon? (I'm new to fly tying. )
Hi David! Perdigons were originally designed by competition anglers. They are tied this way to have a quick sink rate. The large bead gives the fly the mass it needs to sink. The thin body creates less resistance. Perdigons will work anywhere. They’re especially effective in fast/heavy current because they drop in the water column so quickly.
Here is a link to an article I wrote about perdigons: troutstrike.com/the-perdigon-is-the-sports-car-of-euro-nymphs/
Thank you so much for your explanation. That makes a lot of sense. I love your videos!
What jig hook brand do you use?
@@westsidewil It varies. Hannak, Firehole Sticks, Fulling Mill. I also use a small company that makes their own that are of the same quality.
@@troutstrikeI currently use Hanak. I’m interested in Fulling Mill because you can buy them in larger quantities. Sizes are different than Hanak though. I went to Tactical Fly Fisher and downloaded the the measurements for each.
Nice. Will give it a go
@@Flipplt Thanks for watching! Let me know if you have any other questions!

Nice one thank you
