I've been fly fishing for decades. My buddies and I decided to learn to Euro Nymph. I am super excited to get out there and fish, plus I'm telling everyone to subscribe to your channel. I appreciate your dedication and instruction for the preservation of the fish. Great illustration: "you just ran a half marathon and held under water". Keep up the Great work. FISH ON!

    A couple of my greatest fly mentors used to tell me “hook sets are free” meaning if there’s a chance...do it. You miss every hookset you don’t try

    • @spikeconley
      @spikeconley Před 3 lety +3

      I've heard that advice a lot too and I never liked it because it's really not true. It takes time and basically ruins the drift. It's like saying "false casts are free, do a lot of them." Well, at the end of the day if you spend half your day false casting, you're only going to catch half as many fish. I think a lot of fishermen do miss strikes, we just need a better saying than that. I would say get better at figuring out when you have a strike would do you well, and don't fish with your nymphs constantly dragging the rocks so you don't mistake a strike for a rock so often! The best fishermen I know do it that way.

    • @WhiteDogTrailCompany
      @WhiteDogTrailCompany  Před 3 lety +2

      @@spikeconley Your point about being able to determine the difference between a strike and a rock is dead on! And you're right... you will ruin drifts by setting the hook when it isn't a fish. BUT... this video is really intended for people who are newer to euro nymphing and they fail to set the hook way too much and lose a lot of fish because of it. For a beginner I would always have them set the hook if there is any doubt. Once they hook enough fish and also hook bottom enough times they can start to differentiate between a take and bottom. When we do the Euro Series we will go into this in much more depth and definitely address exactly what you mentioned!

  • @mattlittle3330
    @mattlittle3330 Před 3 lety +5

    Great video. Long time fly fisherman, but since I have been Euro Nymphing (December 2020) it has expanded my fly selections, the water I fish, and greatly increased the number of trophy-sized fish I have caught. It has been over a year since I have used an indicator and I do not miss it at all. One great tip for all Euro Nymphing anglers is to take your favorite streamers and tie them on a jig hook and use them as your anchor fly. This really works when the water gets off colored or the wind picks up. My favorite setup is a heavy fly on the dropper and putting a weightless soft hackle 20-24 inches behind it on the point. I catch doubles all the time and for some reason that soft hackle often coaxes the big ones into biting. The best thing you said, other than set the hook on everything, was using your rod to fight the fish. I have caught fish in the 8-9 pound class (well 1) and dozens of 4-5 pound fish on my 10' 3 wt using 5x and 6x tippet. I bet my landing percentage has gone up to over 90% since using the 3wt vs my 5wt. Let that rod bend brothers and sisters and you will use your net more often.

    Great video! Been euro nymphing for years snd there are some great nuggets of wisdom in this video. If you are new to the euro game watch this video a couple of times; think about all of the individual elements. ( several of the tips have multiple elements to them.) Then apply ALL of the elements when you go fishing, and you will be well on your way. Of all of the tips, the first is key! If your flies are not heavy and near the bottom, you aren’t going to catch many fish. ( Getting hung up on the bottom often/from-time-to-time is one way of knowing you flies are down deep enough!)

    • @WhiteDogTrailCompany
      @WhiteDogTrailCompany  Před 2 lety

      My first experience with tightlining was actually with Tenkara. But the lack of a reel and ability to manage line lead me to euro nymphing and I loved it!

  • @ph2738
    @ph2738 Před 3 lety +1

    I started euro nymphing this winter on the Deschutes, OR and I’ve been crushing it! May is supposed to be the big stone fly hatch on the Deschutes for dry fly fishing, but I had a rod rigged for dries, flipped it around a bit, but if I didn’t see any interest on the surface, I’d go back to catching a fish every 4 or 5 casts on nymphing. A couple things. I pretty much set the hook with a little up motion, same as feeling along the bottom, and I land a much greater percentage than anyone fishing with me with an indicator. I seem to get a solid upper jaw hook up, and it shakes out easily in the net. But I’ll try low and downstream to see how it works. As the pale duns dribble out all afternoon, I get a lot of hookups on the downstream swing up to the surface because that’s what the duns and caddis are doing.
    Also I have been wondering about using this for steelhead, since it is a lot like I used to do on the Olympic Peninsula bottom bouncing corkies and pencil lead for steelhead.

    • @WhiteDogTrailCompany
      @WhiteDogTrailCompany  Před 3 lety

      I think you'll get a pretty good hook up ratio compared to an indicator because your line is generally managed way better than when using and indicator.... inevitably I would miss fish on an indicator because I had too much slack for a good hookset a lot of times. Totally agree with you on swinging the flies when there is a hatch going on! If they're chasing emergers that is a good way to go! I also think Euro for steelhead is a great option! That is really how I because successful with steelhead in pressured water. I could find fish in faster or pocket water that other people missed because I was disecting and searching that water with Euro.

    Took up esn last august, awesome! Been fly fishing 30 years, but esn sure hyper jumped my catch rate 10 fold. The San Juan is my home water, 30 fish days not unusual. Good tip on the low angle down stream hook set, took me awhile to figure that one out. Initially had an issue with foul hooking, but a tight line and really feeling the eat as opposed to a brush by and increasing the length from point fly to dropper helped with that.
    Cheers

    I used to be a dry fly or streamer only fisherman I literally have boxes of nymphs that I maybe used a half dozen or so. Never was able to have enough confidence to just go for it with the tight line euro nymphing. This video made so much sense and I made all of these mistakes. After watching this I tried to go out with only nyphing gear in my vest one more time. I am hooked now I feel like I was missing out all this time. I caught and had more hook ups than ever before, on a piece of water that I’ve never caught more 2 or 3 fish in a trip. Thank you this is way better than any other informational videos I’ve seen up until this point. Subscribed!!!!

I am 30 yrs., USArmy military ret., and combat disabled, after 9 operations I still want to go Euro Nymphing. I am one of your supporters and have been trying to keep-up with your beginning Euro videos. I work through our PROJECT HEALING WATERS, teaching fly casting, fly tying, fly fishing, and counseling PTSD to combat veterans and families. After my Baghdad combat injuries, losing my Commander, soldiers and friends as a convoy gunner has made walking and using my arms a bit difficult, but I am stubborn and refuse to quit.

    Great video. Finally found what I really wanted to hear/see. Knew most of the strategies but never hurt to set the hook at any given time when you think there might be one or not. Learning deep pockets, I knew the flies should be heavier to get down to the bottom, when the rifts are fast on top. Thanks for the video especially having the CC (Close Caption). Liked, Subscribed, and will watch more.

    Seems fish are usually facing upstream so setting the hook downstream and low makes sense. Great job on the series. Thanks for sharing. Thanks for helping us go from zero to hero. You rock!

    very very good expanation, what you say makes a lot of sense. I'd gladly see that euro nymphing beginners video. Best part is your caution about keeping the fish healthy. The comparison with running hard and getting one's head under water is spot on! A good way to get a sense of that is to hold your breath each time the fish is out of the water.

  • @scottdearborn4238
    @scottdearborn4238 Před 2 lety

    You are the FIRST person to talk about fighting a fish on a fly rod. I've watched a lot of videos about fly fishing, nymphing, rigging etc.
    I'm very good fighting fish until they jump. I don't know what to do when the fish jump I hope you explain that too in your videos.

    • @WhiteDogTrailCompany
      @WhiteDogTrailCompany  Před 2 lety +1

      That's a really good point on how to handle them when they jump! I covered some basic stuff here and in another video in my Euro Nymphing Series (czcams.com/play/PLuLwf7ym7i7bre38GWqk0pXZggydq3Z5m.html) but I didn't cover a jumping fish. Honestly, i think the rod has a lot to do with it. If you have a good long, soft euro rod just do you best to keep tension so they can't create slack and throw the hook. fighting them with a low rod may help keep them down and not jump... but if a fish really wants to jump.. it's gonna jump! 😂

  • @creativeflyfishing998
    @creativeflyfishing998 Před 2 lety +1

    Been fly fishing for >30 years (euronymphing >10 years) and I think that this information is excellent and I agree 100% with the information given. One small tip that helps keeping the line tight is not being afraid of "pulling" the nymph behind the rod tip (even quite a lot). This is how you get the best contact with the nymph and you are in the motion of gently setting the hook already. The small downside is that the nymph will be drifting slightly faster than the water surrounding the nymph, but I have not seen this being a problem at least not compared to how much fish you lose if there's slack in your line. This can sometimes make a huge difference, especially for picky grayling.

    • @WhiteDogTrailCompany
      @WhiteDogTrailCompany  Před 2 lety

      I agree... I often will help guide my flies downstream like you mention. It is very subtle though so as not to affect the drift too much.

    • @WhiteDogTrailCompany
      @WhiteDogTrailCompany  Před 3 lety

      YES! That is a pain. I typically bring the lower fly around the bottom of the reel near the reel seat and bring it back up toward the upper fly. then hook the flies together (hook to hook). Then reel the line tight. Other people will use a small O-ring that can slide up and down the rod and hook the upper hook on that.

    Great stuff. I cant be reminded enough about playing the fish differently or casting properly.

    Talk about etiquette. So many new guys on the water after last year and they don't know to give the guy already in the water some space. I have been walked in so many times. I know it's public water, but I don't sit in your lap at the movies and I don't eat off your plate in a restaurant. I have met some really cool people on the river just because I was polite. Let's learn from one another don't fish over the top of folks. I have been fishing for 22 years with more than 70 days a year on water. I took up euro about a year ago and it's my new addiction. Again thanks for the video. Great advice. You might talk about the slight haul in the euro cast, it helps get the flies down faster and increases accuracy. Tight lines. Great video.
