Euro Nymphing, Nymping at a Distance 

Could you tell me what's your leader set up, and what line you use for distance EN?

@@becko74 I think you should possibly direct your query at Josh. That said, I believe he typically uses a euro specific line, like Cortland euro nymph line (0.022”) with a 10-13’ leader including a sighter to a tippet ring. From there a 4-6’ leader to a dropper tag for the anchor fly and then about 2’ to the point fly. The tippet is likely about 6X. The leader can be as light as 4X or as heavy as 15# monofilament, tapered or straight... lighter works better at distance but may be more difficult to cast for less experienced anglers. If the sighter is being floated, best to add some floatant like Loon payette paste

Thank you for very extensive answer.Is there any advantages in casting with tapered leader instead of mono?

@@becko74 there really isn’t too much advantage to using a tapered leader unless you fish using a dry fly as the anchor fly (dry-dropper). Tapered leaders definitely allow for a better turnover even with two nymphs, but knots in the leaders create additional friction which may not be worth the potential benefit. Mostly a straight leader to the sighter is the norm. Some people use an 18” section of heavier monofilament between the fly line and the (straight) leader simply to allow for easier connection and replacement of the leader in case of abrasion, etc.

@@kurtrout thanks a lot

Float for sure!

10-11’ , 2-3wt
