Fly Fishing with Streamers - Strategies with Lance Egan (Euro Nymphing) 

That’s a recipe for a subscribe!!!

“Where no one else is willing to go...” Always the best fishing there

It’s a type 6 sink tip

I go 3 feet or less in terms of leader length from the sink tip. If the leader’s too long your streamer will ride higher than the end of your line. I’m no expert though, your local fly shop is always a great resource for this type of info. Good luck out there👍

I think that pack is made by Umpqua.

Definitely paid actors. This whole video is obvious fake.

I saw some strip sets too

Gary the jig streamer sets were downstream in that I’m fishing a large back eddy. It’s flowing opposite the main flow.

Was wondering the same…so you primarily recommend fishing up and across, jig with mono-rig or traditional rig?

Streamers use thicker hooks generally so they need more force. And your line is directly connected while the rod will have some lag. Plus generally fly rods are meant to protect leader which also means that bass or trout setting doesn't have alot of force

@@megaconda07 strip set on sink tip, nymph set on the jig streamer

I set with the rod with the euro streamer to help protect light tippet. Also, euro streamers are fished at short range so there’s much less slack and line stretch when fishing close. When stripping streamers it’s best to use heavy tippet (2x or heavier) and strip set to remove the soft rod from the equation. Pulling straight on the line (strip setting) helps penetrate the hook better at distance. If you set with the rod, the flex of the rod takes away most of the force that can be applied to the fly. Fish often crush a streamer and bite down on it hard. You have to pull back quite hard to get a good hook set.

@@Lanceeganflyfishing great advice on the hook set! I've screwed up a few when trying to set with the rod tip. What weight of rod are you using here? Just wondering if you switch from your 3 weight euro rod to a 5 or 6 weight for streamers?

I used a 10 foot 4 weight for stripping smallish streamers here.

SA Titan taper sink tip type 6.

@@Lanceeganflyfishing Thanks mate

Umpqua overlook pack

Freshwater.

@@Lanceeganflyfishing Come on Egan, you know what I'm asking

@@nbe386 true, but I’m strongly against hotspotting on social media.

Disagree, if your dropping in below me in the same run regardless of distance that’s bad form. When it’s crowded don’t stand in the sweet spot. Take a step or two in between casts and work your way down. If you go in, go in above an angler and work down with him. Make friends and be gentlemen/women.

@@Doc.Holiday Then we agree to disagree all day long. I show respect by NOT stepping in on anyone. Period. Find your own stretch of water and leave others to theirs. This way everyone wins.

@@joshsalazar6943 … don’t be so hasty,… I’m thinking there is common ground. I’m only talking about extreme crowded conditions. Agreed, if someone is in a run I’ll go find another. Or if someone gets up earlier than I do the run is theirs. If I come back at noon and they are still in the sweet spot then I’ll go in above them and expect them to move through the run. Casting distance is absolutely too close. We all need to use common sense.

Not being hasty at all. Everyone’s entitled to their own opinions. After all this is the internet. You just so happened to intervene on mine and you halfway agreed with my rebuttal. As stated above, agree to disagree. Crowded river or not, in your case coming back around noon and someone is still in the run, my immediate reaction would be to move on instead of push someone out. They were there first, plain and simple. The beauty of most rivers is there are miles of water in them with plenty of fish for everyone.

@@joshsalazar6943 … okay Josh. You’re welcome to fish with me. Just don’t “Low Hole” me. It’s a common term for less than gentlemanly conduct. Going in above on a crowded river without other options is a common and respectable practice. At least it has been in my 50 years of fly fishing. Goodaysir…

Hey Schreck. Very small chance a wading belt will make a difference in this river.

I don’t wear one very often on small water. 🤷‍♂️

It’s part of my job

Not needed

I rarely fish with a belt. Especially on small water. It’s probably a good idea but doesn’t change much except that it’s one more thing to put on.
