Five Mistakes When Euro Nymphing  

Great video Lindsay,never tried euro nymphing. This video has tickled my interest. Keep up the good work.

Excellent video

I remember when the first brass beads became available to us. It changed the way I fished from day one. Being able to bounce your fly along the bottom, changed the way I fished! You could feel the difference between a rock and a fish, it was incredible.

Great tips. I’ve done all of these. Thanks for the video.

Can`t go wrong with the Skafars Wax..

you’re a great teacher, very nice video

Had a fllyrod put in my hands at 7 which was 64 years ago. Long before Euronymphing became a buzz word, we called it high sticking or tightlining..

I loved this. Gently informative. On the last "sin" I would add that you are always forgiven and blessed when you "look around." Missing a trout is a bummer. Missing the beauty of nature is much worse. That said, watch and sense you line! (Shoot for 96.8% of the time).

Many thanks Linday for a thoughtful and thought provoking programme. A pleasure to watch. Tight Lines. iain Fraser.

Sage advise, sir ! Now if only I could put them all into practice!

Love the overhead shots really shows the technique. I think the issue has been that there are so many different vids about but very few of them show the casting distance. Ps Have You tried the Hanak Wave 10ft 3wt a more budget friendly version. Very interested in this rod but no reviews anywhere

Thank you for the great nymphing content Lindsay. When you are nymphing areas with lots of vegetation, like you were in parts of this video, do you try to treat the top of the vegetation as the bottom or still try to get all the way down to the soil? I am just starting my journey, but have not got on very well with vegetation.

Great tips I've done them all as well

Helpful.

Nice one Lindsay

Hi Lindsay ,as a new comer to the art of nymphing the waxes looks a god send mate. Could you tell me where I could aquire it or what name it is. What an informative video. Thankyou mate.

Great advice. I would add tuck casting to quickly get to depth. 👍🍺

Lindsay, sorry if this has been asked below. I was taught that if you are fishing 3 flies then the middle should be the heaviest. You seem to suggest that the point should be the heaviest. What is your advice? By the way this I am looking for your advice and not expressing an opinion because I am absolutely rubbish at euro/Czech nymphing!

I didn't know Sean Connery was into euronymphing. He sounds like Sean from the og highlander. A compliment btw!

Good stuff this.

We have all been there.thanks buddy

Good advice. Thankd.

Decent euro nymph rods have the first stripping guide on the first section of the rod

Whats a French leader please?

Why des my line keep angling back twards me when drifting? You boys get nice right angle (or slightly less) drifts. My line ends up smewhere between the rod tip and the reel, at a really sharp angle. its really bothering me. What am i doing wrong?

Lindsay Simpson!! Fishing downstream on the river test?!! There will be some crusty old Colonels turning in their graves!

History and traditions are important. So is knowledge built from years of dedicated time on the water. The question to ask yourself is always do I fish like my great great granddad spend all day repeating the same cast same fly same presentation eventually the odd fish will take. Or with modern tackle and methods you can target the fish with the right fly presented in the correct part of the water column. In the way the fish are actively feeding. So do you want to actually catch fish or chuck fur feather and thread then put it in the lap of fate are you even going to see a fish? You point out the ways that give us the info that improve our prospects of getting more enjoyment from our day
