Pat Weiss has been testing and innovating modern euro nymphing tactics in the US for many years-long before virtually anyone else in the US knew about it. As a result, he's fished many different styles of nymphing and dry fly leaders over the years and can explain how they function. In this video on euro nymphing tactics he talks about one that is currently very popular: the micro leader. He talks about what it is, what it does well and what it doesn't do well. He goes into casting it, what a good drift might look like, and why fly weight matters. This is a great technical video for anyone interested in getting into micro leader euro nymphing.
