I grew up dry fly fishing and wet fly fishing with wooly buggers on wet sinking line. Picked up jig nymphing for about 6 years now and the one major thing that wasn’t necessarily mentioned in this video is the importance of constantly adjusting your leader and tippet length. As you fish different runs, you need to lengthen or shorten your tippet. It’s not ideal to maintain the same length setup for your entire day on the river. When your setup is too long, there’s too much drag, leading to a bad drift and not being able to feel the take. If it’s too short, your fly rig won’t get down. Another is tying nymphs with varying weights. Your fly cannot be too heavy, especially in slower water. At the same time, it has to be heavy enough to get down deep. I fish a stream that has controlled flows. The river is basically releasing 150cfs, 700cfs or 1150cfs and I tie the same pattern with appropriate lead wraps incorporated.
You just gave away gold for free. 🔥
Thank you 😃
He says this at 6-7 minutes...
I am at home with covid and feel awful... This is so relaxing... I could watch this type of content for hours
Sorry to hear you have Covid, I just had it as well, not a pleasant experience. Get well soon and thanks for the kind words!
An extremely informative video on the basics of river nymphing. You are an incredible instructor.
As a newcomer to this sport from Australia I have watched hours upon hours of videos trying to learn different techniques, I have to say this is the best explanation and video I have seen, thank you. I look forward to watching more of your videos.
I really liked this one too: flylordsmag.com/fishing-tips-indicator-fishing-for-trout/?The+Flylords&Newsletter+5%2F8%2F23&
No video can replace time on the river (or lake), grinding it out. You will be a better angler to learn most of your lessons on the water. These videos can cut a couple of tough days off the curve, though. I was lucky enough to learn in a river that had 0 pressure and a lot of fish. Nice combination for a beginner because you will catch fish. I remember my reality check for sure. Luckily, I knew how to cast and more or less what the fish liked by then.
The gentleman to comment before me is absolutely 100 percent correct.. With that said you're geographically close to what I consider the Mecca: New Zealand.. Good luck and Godspeed my friend!!
Mr. Gawesworth is a great instructor. Thank you.
Hi Simon. Great to see you still doing well, and making fishing more productive for countless people. You wont remember me, but I once had an hour with you (in the Sportfish @ Theale days) to learn your Snake roll cast. This cast has saved me so much effort over the years, particularly on the Tay/Spey. I once worked out how many casts (roughly) in a weeks fishing in Scotland.....its quite an amazing number. The Snake Roll has made this effortless whilst shooting right across the river at Tulchan for example. Thank you, thank you Simon, from one of your greatest fans. 😉
I like the hopper dropper with the dropper hopper.
A very interesting and comprehensive vision of nymphing techniques. Thanks a lot
Thank you for this video you covered so much that I had questions about and I could listen to you talk all day
Really well presented and professional. Thanks so much I have learned heaps.
Fantastic job on this.
Very informative video. Thank you for all the tips ill be utilizing these nymphing techniques. Appreciate it.
What a valuable video. Very well done.
what a great, engaging lesson!
Outstanding video - thank you!
Forgot to add the "O" ended up here... gained a new lifelong hobby not mad about it
Thank Simon an excellent video
Nice video 🎣 Simon 👍. Down Stream fishing for me , is Trotting. For manly Grayling back in England 🏴, 35 years ago.
Great video and tips!
Great video. Quick question, is that a new reel (or rather colour)? I don’t remember seeing a purple reel listed on your website.
Great video thanks so much
I love the subtitles, such fun to read! Otherwise very informative.
Amazing 😊
Thank you!
Euro Nymphing seems a lot like Tenkara fishing. Great video!
So my fly shop is saying to set my indicator 1.5X the depth of the water to the weight (Assuming the split shot tied at your where yout tippet connects?) . Does this make sense? Then its Another 12-18 inches to my lead fly then another 10-12 inches to my dropper fly.
Been fishing my whole life. 2024 is the year for me have a go at fly casting, your content is so well presented, it has set me up and given my confidence a boost……can’t wait to start “fluff chucking”. T
Great to hear!
Is there a dry fly version of this video, taught by Simon?
I WAS EURO NYMPHING BEFORE ALL THIS BOBBER FISHING SOME 50 YEARS AGO AND LEARN THE STACK MEND!
❤❤好课程，謝謝你
Nice video Simon! However I find the description of the down downstream drift to be a bit misleading . It suggests that a lagging indicator is a dragging indicator! This is far from the truth the nymphs drifting on the bottom are traveling at the speed of the bottom current which is far slower than the top current, your indicator should always travel slower than the bubbles/current on top if you want your nymphs to drift naturally with the speed of the bottom current.
I asked the same question a few seconds ago before I spotted yours I hope we get a reply
Hi there, I just tried a Tip Topper yarn indicator from Loon. I was surprised to see that it didn't sit on the water but sat below the surface. Are you supposed to apply flotant to yarn indicators? tia
yes, you often have to add floatant
太赞了！
great
Simon…You can teach an old retired Oregonian new tricks…Cheers
You need to find what's in the bottom of the stream to know what to tie on stone fly or dragon fly good start
The point fly doesn’t have to be the heaviest as you say. A lighter point fly can flutter about behind the heavier one, or then subtract the indicator and you’re closer to a traditional form of nymphing for some regions.
I think the drop fly being heavier as a suggestion helps new anglers to keep their setup from becoming a tangled mess until they have learned to control the line during a cast.
I would like to see Simon do a full episode on Euro
Euro dorking is for dorks
@@bssaassin1900bass are for mouthbreathers
So a bobber?
What should you do if your fishing 30-50 ft water
get longer waders
When NY mph fish I never use a locator. All you have to do is watch the fish that you are presenting the Fly 2 he is the locator Terry Farrell Lake of the Ozarks Missouri
Would appreciate timestamps but overall great video!
The only thing i needed more from this excellent introduction is when and why to change patterns and heights? Increase the line below the indicator until you’re occasionally strinking bottom: 1 in 5 casts give or take? How many casts through a productive looking pool until it’s time to change a fly to a different pattern or size? Which to select if you’re not sure on what insects are down there? Split shot 6 inches up from the furthest fly right?
Also, indicator....bobber fishing. Try it without.
*cough* "they are not bobbers, they are strike indicators" *cough*
Everyone says that the float should go the same speed as the current yet they also say that the current down below is much slower than the surface current don't they ever realize they're contradicting themselves?
😂😂you can easy cast with thin line I’m using n3 and I can cast over 20m 😂😂😂 with Czech rods no problem
really really really really LOL tiny tiny
Why an indicator? Why not an Euro Rig? It is much better....
Good point but everyone has their preferences. Thanks for your feedback
Fishing with a bobber is a little silly. What I suggest is you learn to cast, mend and drift correctly, which does require more effort but does not require a bobber.
