Hooray! Double Tapers live! Well at least they are still hanging in there. Check out how well DT lines work on long Euro Nymph rods when we don't feel like soaking nymphs with them.
I can also recommend 406 Fly Lines in Montana. I have their DTs on my 4 and 5 weights and since I generally fish streams and small to medium rivers I don’t need anything for these rods beyond that 50’ range you mention.
Great content!! I run DT lines on my tight line or euro rigs. I carry a piece of foam to put my mono euro leader on and can switch from nymphing to dries very quickly. Once one gets a system like this down, one can sufficiently switch back and forth without irritating issues. Thanks!! Always enjoy receiving your videos, especially your camera and filming videos.
Do you recommend using the same weight fly line as the rod weight (as in a 2wt euronymph rod would get a 2wt double taper line)? Thanks for these videos!
@@hooked4lifeca thanks! Turns out, my euro reel came spooled up with a weird Orvis euronymphing line with also has a little taper and is designed to toss small dries. Will report back after I’ve tried it, but I’m not very taken with the concept. I don’t see why anyone would want to use a euronymphing line other than if they’re in competitions, so I’d rather have a line like yours.
I was forced to try it today. I hit a tiny creek and realized that my 3wt creek reel had worked its way out of my bag 😞 The Orvis euronymph line’s ability to throw dries appears to be marketing. It throws a dry about as well as a mono rig. I will be getting rid of it and re-spooling with a proper fly line.
