Brian K. Shaffer Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 My buddies are telling me and more about this technique of fly rod Euro Nymphing. I thought I knew it as high sticking... but there is a lot more to it. Can someone tell it like it is ? What's the skinny ? Thanks. Just once I wish a trout would wink at me! ozarkflyfisher@gmail.com I'm the guy wearing the same Simms longbilled hat for 10 years now.

Members Ozarks Euro Posted January 27, 2022 Members Posted January 27, 2022 It is super controlled, contact nymphing. A tight to the fly drift that is sensitive and I can identify every test or touch to the fly. I use an 11' 2wt. I had 25 fish in about 4 hours on Taney last Sunday. We also do more then nymphing with the Euro setup. Dry/dropper and streamer fishing are deadly as well. nomolites and BilletHead 2

JestersHK Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 If any of you have amazon prime there is a good documentary / show on nymphing that's pretty good at teaching the basics. I learned it in North Carolina, and I'm still trying to master it... if that's even possible. It catches fish though and is another tool in the tool box Johnsfolly and Daryk Campbell Sr 2
dpitt Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 What's the documentary name? Or will it be obvious if I do a search for Euro Nymphing?

It was like a fly fishing for trout or something basic like that, older non high def footage... I'll see if I can find it, it's been a few years since I watched it May have been this one, but don't see it on prime anymore... https://www.amazon.com/European-Nymphing-Techniques-Tying-Fishing/dp/B004IAGMWS Johnsfolly and dpitt 2
