Euro Nymphing: Early Fall Pocket Water Fishing
On this trip I focus on switching between 1 and 2 nymph rigs, depending on flows/depth. I utilize Euro Nymphing in Pocket Water in early fall. I was able to pick off eager trout in and near faster chutes/runs and enjoy the fruits of my labor with quick takes and aggressive eats. Thanks for watching!

Euro Nymphing from a Raft (SAME FISH LOST AND THEN CAUGHT WITHIN MNUTES!!!)
Просмотров 6383 месяца назад
Although this video wont take place exclusively from the raft, it was really awesome to take the raft out with a good friend, stop and fish wherever we wanted, and really pick apart the best sections of water. The fish were keyed into Sulphur(ish) Pheasant Tails and Blow Torches in size 14-16. We caught around 50-60 fish on the day and enjoyed each others company. Can't wait until the next one!...

Would you cut down your rig and change to less tippet and a single fly? That is one option. However, watch this video and see how I simplify ma...

    • @tightliningmd
      @tightliningmd 4 месяца назад

      It is expensive to get started. However, overall, I think it is fairly cheap. I quit golf because of the price. However, with fly fishing you get your set up, tippet, and some flies, after that you are set for a little bit and just add some tippet and flies every few months. Definitely not a cheap sport, but overall I think its doable. I also like tying my own flies and if you don't go crazy on a bunch of random stuff for patterns then it also helps cut the cost.

    Your video just popped up so I watched it through. Nice filming and comments. Always intriqued to see fly fishing in other countries. But tell me, the water looks great, but no 2-4-6 lb fish. Are they there or do they simply not get to a decent size. I guess there must be adult mature fish somewhere to breed, but don't you find it bothersome catching tiddlers that are so stupid they will attack anything rather than hunting down a smart 6lb fish? I fish 5-6 months a year in New Zealand and it is quite different. Euronymphing is differcult with gin clear waters as its hard to get close without spooking the fish. Will keep trying as I like the technique, but prefer to catch one 60cm fish a day on a dry with a 15ft leader, 6 wt rod.

    • @tightliningmd
      @tightliningmd 4 месяца назад

      Hey John, Thanks for watching and commenting. There are absolutely some large fish in this river. However, they are very tough to get out of their hiding places and many east coast US streams are likely only having those fish come out at night or during elevated flows/heavy rain. I also was using nymphs and typically, as you know, they are more piscivorous. Today I went out and got a couple nicer mid teen fish with streamers. However, when I switched to nymphs, numbers went up and size went down. I know NZ is a completely different breed, I have seen the videos as well. Tom Jarman, Trippin on Trout, Trout Hunter NZ, etc all make it look so fun and easy. We unfortunately have nothing like that here in the US, at least not wild. Marginal streams, with lesser density and pressure, usually have the best size fish come out of it, in my experience. Tight lines and enjoy NZ trout fishing!

    Hey Mike! Very instructive video as usual,nice breakdown on the water types and the proof was in the pudding. For the non tiers they would be doing themselves a great favor by arming themselves with your green weenies. As always thanks for the video and tight lines!

      Thanks Dale, your feedback and support always mean a lot. I had about 3 different orders that included the Green Weenies, so some people are gonna do well. I also had reports of others, who tie themselves, saying they tried them as a result of this video and they did quite well. Thanks for watching and tight lines!

    Lovely video, Mike. Thanks. I was wondering if on that river and with that setup if you see or feel the majority of your strikes.

      Thanks Alex. I feel more with this set up. Much more than other rods. However, overall sight is always my most important sense for detecting strikes. Thanks for watching and commenting. Tight lines the next time you hit the stream.

    Mr. Mike! If you get a chance, try my version of the green weenie, I call it the teeny weeny, I use a size 16-1x or 2x long hook, a 5/64 black painted tungsten bead, chartreuse 8/0 thread and the micro Fl. chartreuse ultra chenille, put two or three’s layers of thread on your hook, start at the rear, form the loop tail, then just lay the chenille on the top of the hook shank on top of the thread layers and evenly rib your thread up to the eye and tye off. This I feel, more truly represents an actual inch worm and works great for me, excellent as a lightly weighted dropper off a dry, like a beetle or black stimulator (cricket) pattern. Just another suggestion 👍🏻. Great video and explanations.

      I will take your advice on the winter Weenie :) Thanks for sharing that! You are a wealth of knowledge and a good friend. Thanks as always for your support. Can't wait to watch the new Delaware River video.

    Nice Set up my friend. I have a Sage 7 ft 9 inch 2 weight for small creeks and such! Always a nice fight with a 12 inch or better trout.

      It is cool to fight a medium fish, or better, on light tackle. In some cases, it is super stressful. That rod sounds like a dream for brookies or a small mountain stream. Hope you get out soon and put a bend in the rod. Tight lines!

    Coach, You continue to "break the code" on the GP! I caught 12 and missed that many for about 3-4 hours yesterday morning and felt good about that. If you had been with me I think you would have tripled that!

      Hey Jim! Thanks for the kind words. Glad our conversation and the video helped. Always nice to sneak in a good session and build some confidence. Looking forward to the next time we get out there.

    Look into the soldarini shadow FF fly reel for a low price full cage reel option. 120 for a full cage, machined aluminum, 4.2oz reel with a sealed drag. Devin olson’s shop carried them

      I do believe I came across that brand before, but hadn't given it serious consideration. Ironic timing because I want to do a rod/reel review soon and I might mention it as a result. Good to know and what a great price. Thanks for sharing!
