Patterns that Improve Your Nymph Box! Attractors, Junk Flies, and Situational Bugs!
As a fly fisherman and fly tyer, we always strive to have the perfect nymph box for trout. So once you have it, how can you make it better?
Once you have your core patterns in your box, it is time to add attractors, junk flies (mops, squirmy worms, eggs), terrestrials, etc...They all play an important role.
During certain times of the year when bug activity subsides, other types of patterns are needed. Patterns that may stand out from the crowd. When we encounter high, murky water or other adverse conditions, we need bugs that help us during these times. Or it may simply be the type of water or stream we are fishing. When we go to the stream, we must be ready for anything. Adding these type...

The PERFECT Nymph Box: How to Build it!
Просмотров 24 тыс.2 месяца назад
Whether you are a beginner fly fisherman/fly tyer or an experienced one, filling your fly box with nymphs for trout can be daunting. What patterns do you use? How many? What weight? What sizes? Weight is especially important for Euro Nymphing. Instead of taking the shotgun approach and tying a ton of different patterns, (which ultimately leads to having a bunch of patterns in your box that you'...
Fly Fishing in MONTANA: FANTASTIC Dry-Dropper Action
Просмотров 8 тыс.2 месяца назад
Spent a beautiful late September afternoon fly fishing in Montana. Using a Dry-Dropper with a long Euro Nymphing leader was the ticket. The water was shallow and clear. Also, I noticed an occasional bug on top, and a lot of the time, a fish rose for it. The dry-dropper enabled me to cover both the top and underneath. The long euro leader helped keep my fly line off the water, giving me perfect ...

    Cory I agree on the scissors. Fortunately for me I have a small sode business where I sharpen chainsaw blades, knives, skillsaw blades and yes scissors. I have had the same pair of Dr. Slick scissors for over 15 years. I have had tibsharpen them twice. Several years ago I had an accident where I had to have 37 stitches. When tbe doctor got done I asked him about the scissors and hemostats laying on his table. I asked him what he does with them and he said they throw them away after they are used. Well...I he gave me the scissors and hemostats and I use the scissors to cut wire and materials that dull good scissors. Since then me and him have fished together in smallmouth tournaments and he has given me bags of scissors and hemostats. I guess what I am saying is if you know how to sharpen razor scissors and you don't use them on hard materials they will last a lifetime. I will say buck tail is tough on Dr slick scissors. Again, I use the old scissors the doctor gave me. I wished I lived closer....I would sharpen your scissors for you. Save money big time.

      Dennis, it really doesn't matter. I was using Black Magic. But honestly, it is just as easy to put UV resin over the fly first, hit it with the light, then take a black marker and make your wingcase on top of the resin. Then put a touch of resin back over the wingcase and hit it again with the light. Hope this helps.

Watch this at the 49:00 mark, I will explain it: ruclips.net/video/oPmcAZZmf-0/видео.htmlsi=AFRZLX4fR5ozNSz3 You can hold your flies up at a distance, but water depth plays a part. The shallower the water, the farther away you can fish. The deeper the water, the harder it is because your bugs will sink back towards you. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!

    As a fly angler who will often use a loop knot to attach my bugs (often very small bugs), I will typically use the perfection loop - even w 7x tippet. Understanding the anatomy of the loop helps to keep it really small, ie the correct proportion of loop size to fly size. Whereas, the hemo hack works, it is difficult to maintain a consistent loop size. Cool hack, but inconsistent (for me anyway 😊)

    • @OldDominionTroutBum
      @OldDominionTroutBum 16 дней назад

      Glad it helps, Jeff. There really is no weight limit. I have thrown jigged streamers with 4.8mm beads with this leader. What gets affected is the recovery of your rod. The heavier weight you use, the longer it takes your rods to recover. This is especially true with longer 2 weights. That being said, this leader really excels when nymphing with 3.3mm beads and less.

      Thanks, Nathan. It will work for you. Aaaaaaah, the million-dollar question. It is a misconception that bugs ride parallel to the bottom. Most hang straight up and down, with a jig hook inverting and riding slightly at a 45-degree angle. It really doesn't matter what side you color because bugs get banged around in the current all the time. They ride upside down, right side up, sideways, etc... For me, It is just easier and more pleasing to the eye to do it my way. Hope this helps and good luck to you.

    Cory, excellent video. Really appreciate that you also list what size beads you tend to use with various weight sizes. As I look at your videos to tie these nymphs, it seems you only use copper beads (sometimes you specify "tungsten", sometimes "slotted," sometimes nothing else cited). Do you ever use any other color beads besides copper? If not why? I can easily distinguish a 2.3 bead from a 3.3. If I don't have a 3.3 for comparison, I will see that the 2.8 is larger than the 2.3, but would not on its own know it was a 2.3. So I tend to use different color beads for 2.3, 2.8, and 3.3 when tying on the same size hook (eg a Walt's Worm) Any other way to distinguish for those of us with older eyes? Different color hot spots for each weight? The Walt's Worm as you tie it, performs very well in MA and Rangeley region of ME: ruclips.net/video/LfpS43ezpvQ/видео.html

    • @OldDominionTroutBum
      @OldDominionTroutBum 16 дней назад

      Appreciate it! I do like copper, but I use a lot of silver on certain patterns, such as a France fly and France midge, and also the Culirojas. I will also use silver on some Walts and light metallic pink. I separate bead sizes by rows, so it helps me. But you could take a sharpie and make a dot on top of the 2.8 beads, so it stands out for you. I know a lot of guys that do that. Hope this helps and glad that Walt's is working for you. That Rangeley area of ME is special. Tight lines!

    As someone who has fished Barbless since 1978, I can say it is the Only Way to Go! Another Positive is if you stick it somewhere where you dont want to you can get it out than having to possibly go to an Urgent Care!

      That's right, Tony! You can pull it out and keep fishing!

    Any hints for the old guys that don’t see that well? I have no problem casting the micro leader but seeing it is anther thing altogether. I have even tried all the bright colored waxes. I usually have to use a larger diameter sighter just to be able to see it. Great video, I always enjoy your videos especially when you are fishing the Madison. We fish the Madison from May to October each year.

      May to October on the Madison sounds like Heaven! The only other suggestion (aside from going thicker) is to tie a bright-colored piece of sighter material on your sighter above your tippet ring. Use a Uni knot and leave the tags as long as you can get away with so you can see it. Hope this makes sense. Good luck, and thanks for watching!

    Seems like cutting off the other line for the dropper tap would make more sense, in that, the dropper won't get tangled as soon

      Gregory, like I say in the video…keep your tag 3-4 inches and you will never have that problem. It never tangles.

    Thank you so much for this video!!! Tied my very first flies ever on Friday. Caught a nice rainbow with this mob the next day. For a fly tying beginner like me, this couldn’t have been a better feeling.

      Congratulations! Glad it was helpful! It is the ultimate feeling in fly fishing...Tying, then catching fish on our own creation. Cheers to many more. Tight lines!

    Hi Is that euro line? And what weight bug are you throwing? I feel like I’m trying to learn but practicing with too much weight. Almost 1g Thanks

    • @OldDominionTroutBum
      @OldDominionTroutBum 19 дней назад

      Hey Brett. I am using a euro fly line, except my leader is very long. It is approx 30 feet with my tippet to the fly. In this video, I had a 3.3 or a 2.8mm bead on. I suggest you practice with a single 3.3mm bead and get really good at it. A 3.3mm bead is approx .35g

    Such a good video with an added notation from me; for anyone who has not or is not doing so, you can take watching these videos to the next level if you watch them at home on your smart TV. You will see and hear much more than you do on your iPhone, iPad, or computer. As do many, I have a large screen smart TV with a good sound system. This is a much better viewing and listening experience which I highly recommend for anyone watching these videos. Incredible experience!!

    Love all your videos but the last two were flat out HOMERUNS, especially for us newer guys. Getting started can be a bit overwhelming. Every video you watch or article you read convinces you that you need to carry that bug or item with you. Suggestion… how about a video on what you’re carrying while you’re on the water? I know I’m carrying way to much stuff 😂

      Thank you, Swoosh! Appreciate it. I am definitely a believer in "less is more." I will be doing a video very soon on what I carry. Thanks for watching and tight lines!
