Watched this and I still have no idea what euro nymphing actually is...

i agree 100% about casting. i cast differently than with my traditional rod but i cast it. imo it is way harder to do than traditional fly fishing. i really do enjoy euro nymphing and jigging. i still do both and spin fish as well. depends on what is appropriate for the species, water, conditions etc... good looking dog. Springer spaniel?

You need to explain what the Arbor bit means. My local angling shop had it wrong. He just thought it meant a large diameter spool. I'm sure it means a wide spool, irrelevant of outer diameter. A wide spool prevents thin lines bedding in and a Euro nymphing line is thin and long. Also, don't have objects between you and the camera if your camera only has auto focus. At the end of your video, it focused on those red flowers, leaving you blurred !

Great video of a great product! Thank you! I just bought the latest version of this. It is the CFA-830. It is now even better. The spool issue that you identified has been fixed. My Scientific Anglers Absolute Clear Tippet Spools fit perfectly. The projecting arbor ring on the spool fits perfectly in a larger hole so you don’t have to cut that off. The only thing that I don’t like about the Universal Chest Storage Box is that is somewhat fragile. That is the trade off with the ultra lightweight quality of this. I like this a lot.

I was hoping for a visual explanation.

Western PA guy here... thanks! I had one of these arriving today tot try and just found this video this morning. Can't wait to try it!

I've purchased two Euro reels over the last year or two and recommend everyone do their research (prior purchase). One turned out to be great for Euro constraints and the other proved fatally flawed (design wise) and I've since repurposed for other fly-fishing applications. Both come from top brands. The reel I love is the Ideal Nymph made by Diamondback . The drag on this reel is smooth as butter and the large arbor reel collects slack quickly. The sealed cage ensures that thinner mono leaders stay in. The biggest drawback IMO is that it's quiet (some people prefer reels with an audible click). The Euro reel I had to repurpose is the Hardy Ultradisc UDLA. While an incredible (general-use) reel, they claim the cage is sealed but mono constantly sneaks out. Additionally, the reel has small grooves between the main component and spool that lets mono sneak in, and it often gets hooked on an edge. After losing several nice fish (which I could have probably hand-lined in), I'd seen enough! I was a bit surprised because of all the premium Euro rod makers (Sage ESN, T&T Contact II), Hardy's Ultralite LL is by far the best Euro rod IMO (and less expensive than the other two mentioned). I fish the 3wt / 10'8" which is great for bigger, western rivers. Across the board, it's an amazing rod far superior in quality, components, and overall feel (in comparison to the ESN and Contact II). A 3rd (general use reel) that turned out to be amazing for Euro is Abel's Vaya.

Sure looks like the Yough river in Pennsylvania!

Adam I like that thread hack have to give that a go….

Nice Adam.. How have you been?? I’m going minimal and customizing mine..

Do you think semi-automatic fly reels are good for euro nymph fishing?

Stonflo is Italian

very instructive and useful !

Nice proportions and I admit, I am a big fan of CDC hackles. Well done.

That is great opening music! The fly is cool too

I'm a Japanese fly fisher. I mainly enjoy Euro Nymphing. Your video is very helpful. I look forward to more.

Great stuff! Subscribed

Nice video. Thanks for taking the time to produce it. Please, please cut down on the advertising intro garb at the beginning. Way way way too long.

I love this.

I just started doing this last week, and absolutely slayed the smallies on my 2 wt Cortland.

That’s such a tough section to wade.

Спасибо, чувак. Жаль, что так мало просмотров

Bring up your faith and get an instant thumbs down. 😢

Cool video man . Greetings 🎉

I know exactly where this is. :) Thanks for the video.

Thanks for sharing

Great video. I recently bought a vision hero for my euro rig.

Up is a Great area! God's handiwork displayed up there for sure! Tightlines!

'This is a good video instruction for the blood knot but it would be better if another view was taken over the tier's shoulder. Tying the blood knot twice on the video from the back and front would greatly improve this tutorial.

your not exaggerating, there is that much info on eruo nymphing on here...lol

The more I see fly line & fly reels designed specifically for Euro nymphing the more I wonder why one would need fly line or a fly reel at all. Seems all you need is some form of reel with dependable drag.

I suppose you are not in vogue if you dont call high sticking Euronymphing, but ever since I had an 8 1/2' bamboo rod placed in my 7 year old hand, I was taught to highstick and control my line and feel. My reel was a Pflueger Gem with no drag and I was taught to palm. Sure, the reels I have in the past 10-15 years have drags and I have no problem with that. Its all marketing. Guess I'm just an old dog who gets a kick out of fly fisherman who have to be in vogue but dont know the history of the game. Just like fly tiers that call Perdigons flies.

Amen brother keep on praising n fishin

yhhg

Thanks Nice info

Thanks for the video. One question…do you plan to talk about vest? Yours seems good.

Merry Christmas to you and your family.

250.000 different leader formulas is a little short! lol

This better explains the pile of assorted leader materials I snipped off your loner reel. I’ll hold on to it and maybe use it someday.

Where do you buy this at?

Good job! I am wanting to get a good Euro reel. Ive been in the Euro game for some time. Looks like you were enjoying come central PA fly fishing. Tightlines!

I wanted you do show several reels you find are best (for buck) examples of the type. Not doing so seemed a reel cop out.

which reels were you showing in the video?

Good info. I really get tired of people saying the only reason you need a reel is to hold line . That’s is not true , catch a 20” + trout on the Madison chances are you will break it off by trying to use your fingers as a drag . Thanks for the video

Your vids are amazing

Great info, but your music drowns you out.

Journey, Yo-wel .
