1.) Rod/Reel Selection
2.) Leader Build
3.) Tippet/Knots/Flies
4.) Cast/Drift

Thanks for watching and subscribing to Tight Lining MD! Please like, share, comment, and ask questions. Enjoy viewing!
Each week I will put out a video that has me exploring local waters. My goal is to catch fish, help viewers learn, and most importantly HAVE FUN. - Sport
What a great video for beginners and experienced alike. Mike cuts right to the chase and takes so much guess work out of the equation with detailed explanations and proven on stream techniques. I’m sure those that put this information to work on their waters they will pick up their game big time. Thanks for putting all of this together and sharing with us.
Thanks for the feedback Dale. As someone who know their way around a stream and Euro Nymphing, it is great to hear your words of affirmation. Tight lines and I look forward to hopefully connecting this summer!
Awesome video. You did a great job simplifying Euro. Thank you I learned a bunch
Danny,
Thanks for watching and commenting. It is my one of my favorite ways to fish and I think sometimes we can get lost in the details. I am glad this helped and hope when you hit the stream and give it a try you find it a bit easier!
Wow! Gotta be one of the best euro nymphing how-to videos I've seen. Simple, easy, and to the point. Thanks for simplifying things. This really helped me a ton.
Thanks a lot Jaron! I really enjoyed fishing, teaching, and editing for this one. I figured it might help someone, and if nothing else people might enjoy the fishing side of things. Tight lines out there!
Really nicely done Mike. Great production too! You very clearly communicated lots of detailed information. Great stuff.
Amazing! Many thanks!
Glad you like it!
Mike, I shared your Facebook post to the SFAOD group and plugged your meeting presentation with us in July, but I think I forgot to tag you. Just letting you know. Excellent video BTW. I bookmarked a couple of the products you recommended!
Ed! Thanks for watching and sharing with the group. I am really looking forward to meeting you guys in July and talking fly fishing with your group. Hopefully someone in the chapter can try it out on their own with this video as a building block, then I can help answer questions when I am there in person. Tight lines till then and I hope the products you selected treat you well!
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching! I appreciate the feedback and hope you have fun on the water. Thanks Mike!
You say bring your flies down at or slightly sliwer than the pace of the current.I take it you mean slightly slower than the pace of the surface current.Another good video.Cheers
I want to bring the speed of leader, which is above the surface, to "at or slightly slower than the pace of the current". Which is essence would mean the flies are doing about the same as well, if not more. Hope that helps. Tight lines on the water!
You prefer a tippet ring instead of a bloodknot or the sort to connect the butt section to the sighter? Interesting
There are a bunch of ways to connect them:
Tippet Ring
Blood Knot
Small Perfection loop tied in
UV Splice
and more....
This video was going for the "simple way" and I have found this is the easiest and most overall effective for any person to master and work confidently. I would likely wager the "best" way is to do the small perfection look tied in.
To each their own on how they do it though. Tight lines and thanks for watching and commenting.
great video!
Thanks! Appreciate you watching and being a member Art. Congrats on that Driftless Brown, a real stunner!
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it. This was fun to make and I am glad people are enjoying/learning from it. Tight lines!
Do you have any plans on coming back over to western MD ?
Was just there this past weekend. It was awesome!
@@tightliningmd Are you going to do a video of it? The water was somewhat low, but glad you had an awesome time. We're going out tomorrow.
No videos. I barely got to fish for me. Maybe 30 mins each day during just after guide trips. Caught a bunch. But this weekend wasn’t about me.
So, all of this line on the reel is basically mono, I know there’s got to be a backing of some kind, but from what I seen there is no fly line? (Or traditional fly line)
Hey Randy!
Thanks for watching and commenting. The leader is all mono for this year. However, I do have backing and fly line on. I apologize for not mentioning that. I have standard Dacron and then any brand Euro Line you prefer. I think Rio and Cortland produce good quality, but any will suffice. I will say, I like them with a perfection loop at the end, simply because you can tie ANY leader type to it, especially if you saw a blanket hatch and wanted to cast traditionally. I connect my leader to the Euro Line via a clinch knot, if there is a loop. Otherwise, you can do a UV splice, add a tippet ring to end, and even other options. What you MUST avoid is a perfection loop to perfection loop. Meaning, don't buy manufactured Euro Leaders, they SUCK! Too thick, too much memory, and come with a perfection loop. As a result, when you are drifting or casting with two loops they will get caught in the guides and you won't get a smooth cast or drift as you manage the line. I sell leaders, that I hand tie, on my website and they are very durable, delicate, and work well for this style. If you ever want one, just head on over and I ship them out all over the US. I am on vacation starting tomorrow, so check back on the 13th and you will see all the flies and leaders I use and tie.
Thanks for watching and I hope my answer helped. Tight lines and have fun on the water!
Thank you so much for getting back to me.
@@tightliningmd thank you so much for getting back to me, this Euro is all new to me but I’m no expert any other way either but I have spent a lot of time fishing for steelhead while bouncing a worm or roe with some weight on the bottom of the river with a spinning outfit. So this looks like a lot of fun to me, thanks for the video! I’ll look for more.
how does a fly shop give discounts on items that have MAP pricing?
Guess that’s for the fly shop to figure out. It’s also a one use code: which allows them to sell at full price for all items. However; still allows a customer to get a small discount on a specific item of their choice for just one purchase. It’s not uncommon practice. Troutbitten has many similar discount codes for a variety of stores nationwide.
everybody has a totally different way of rigging the "best" way lol
I don’t know if there is a best way. If there is, I haven’t found it. There are simple ways; which is why I titled it the way I did. But I’m not in a position to say something is the best. I can say simple or most effective. But as always, with life and fly fishing, there’s a lot of “it depends”.
