Love your videos. What does your euro leader consist of, and typically how much of it is outside of the rod's tip? I've been using a 6lb maxima chameleon leader and I'm having issues casting it with say 15' or more of leader outside the rod's tip.
I'm actually using maybe 30ft -50ft of 6lb down to the sighter. Then I run tippet after that. So basically the main line I'm fishing with is also my leader. My rod is a 11ft 2wt...so that extra length is an advantage with my casting distance. The amount outside my rod just depends on how far I need to cast, but 15 ft or so I don't think is an issue for me. Do u water load it when u cast? Meaning use the tension of the line in the water downstream to help u cast up stream? Tightlines!
@@michaelcapurso ...ok...yeah...real lite line is going to be harder to overhead cast. Especially with light nymphs. It can be done....and it is needed sometime, but weight does help.
@@WildBlueDiscovery It's absolutely beautiful. My family was part of the Cade's Cove removal back in the day. I love going up in the smoky mountains and also down to Cherokee National on the Tellico River. Reminds me of how my family would have moved around and supplied themselves with food.
Thanks for watching! You won't find that pattern for sale . DM me on Instagram and I will send u Pic of it. My friend ties that for me and he bought it from Poland I believe. Tightlines!

@@WildBlueDiscovery Thank you for the reply. Water load casts no problem, over head is where I have an issue. My rod is a 10' 2wt.

The first thing you have to know is this is Appalachia and not the south, but love the video. Hope you are enjoying your time here!
Some nice country. This was back in June. Tightlines!

Loved the video, was this recent (post Helene?)
Thanks and Thanks for watching! This was in early June...so pre Helene. Tightlines
I should clarify that the fly I’m referring to is the Black Plague. I’ve had no success finding any patterns. Thanks!
