Take EURO NYMPHING to Another Level: PERFECT Your Drifts! 

Another awesome video, Cory! That was a great explanation of how to handle different length drifts depending on water conditions. I really enjoyed it and always learn something from your videos! I admire how you blend careful teaching with exciting fishing on the stream. -Patrick

Hey Cory! Another very instructive video fully explained at every step. I agree 100% about the versatility of euro. I probably do 100 things with my rod in a day of fishing. I like how you said that just fooling them is the deal. I say that also. That beach towel was a hell of a catch” thank you Mr Blue”😂 Thanks again for sacrificing stream time to provide your excellent instruction. Tightlines my friend!

That beach towel was a real trophy catch. Go for the grand slam, umbrella and beach ball to round you out 😂🎣 great content Corey 👍

Hi Cory Thank you for yet another great video - everything is situational as you said . Received stickers you sent- Thank you for that too. JD was slamming on the W.Branch Delaware- it became my confidence fly for sure . Stay well and tight lines!

Nice work as always!

Excellent explanation Cory of what your doing on the drifts...good stuff 👍🏽

Well done Cory! Great video as always. Thanks for all you do

Great job again Cory!!! You find the best water loaded with trout and have great flow!!!

Another great video good job Corey

always look forward to your videos !!!! thanks again!!! i really enjoy your tying videos PEASE PLEASE KEEP THEM COMING !!!!!

Hey Cory! Great video. I really agree with you on tempering your expectations on your drift-especially for long casts. I caught a lot of fish this year at the very end of the drift-just as I’m about to start my next cast. When I notice that happening a lot, I’ve been putting a soft hackle on the tag and having success.

Great video! I certainly agree,you have to cast further than the rod tip plenty. I find I scare fish sometimes when I get to within 10 or 11 feet of them (rod distance)

Thanks for this!

Thanks for posting, please consider strictly filming in 4k. It’s almost unwatchable in 1080p on a bigger screen than an IPad or phone. Used to watch religiously and share with fishing buddies but all the complaints are the same, especially when tight lining, can’t even see the takes or the line tracking through the water and the takes. Appreciate it, cheers! 🙏🏻

Cory you have that drift dialed in. You have a radar signal telling you where the fish are!!

Another great video! Thanks a lot.

Excellent video! More great tips on maximizing the versatility of the micro leader. Thanks Cory! -Dustin

Another great video and 😂 robbed by a beach towel I would of been mad if they was a big fish

Really good stuff as always

Thanks for another awesome video! I am still working on learning to tuck cast. It has been more difficult than I expected for me. Without the cast I know it's not possible to fish out in front and back effectively in those short drift runs. I always look forward to your next videos.

As always, great video Cory.....thank you for your tips.....

Good stuff man!

I think I need to start watching these videos before our trip!! Or I can just wait for some private lessons😂xo

Outstanding video again Corey! Like you said , take what the river gives you sums it up ! I personally like to extend the drift a little longer and sometimes get a take on the tail out of a drift when there’s not too much complexity to the current. I’ve been trying to gather together the materials for the Jack Daniel’s , and it been tough to say the least! But in the meantime Torrey at Upcountry has put me on a fly is pretty close to it , and I have been slaying them on it ! Good to see you pick em off in some fast water, definitely not easy! Tight lines buddy 👍

Great video as always! Thank you again for sharing your talents 👍 🪰🐟

Like all your videos, chock full of practical advice. Good reminder that one can succeed with short drifts. I have watched all your vids at least 2x. One thing that surprises me - the lack of other fishers upstream or downstream of you. I live in MA and generally fish MA and CT streams. But I also regularly fish all the Catskills streams (including the ones in your videos) and the Maine stream you filmed. And rarely are the streams that empty when I fish. Esp the Esopus and Beaverkill/E. Branch. I usually fish weekdays and either early in the morning or in late afternoon/evening. Do you generally fish mid day? Just curious how you manage to avoid the crowds. My fave vids of yours - the Tuck Cast and adding an adjustable dropper- really helpful! Tight lines.

Lovely stuff as always!

Hello, ODTB. When did you get that "2Wt"? I'm still just using my 3Wt. Though, the Ms., well, we bought her a 10' 2Wt Diamondback, last year. She loves it. Her 3Wt is the 10'6" Sage ESN. She loves that, too. I need to get MYSELF a 2Wt. How do you like the Pezon & Michel? We're using Adam's, in white. It's done well for us. We, too, are 30' in length. Additionally, are you going to make it out west this year? Specifically, to the Madison, like last year? It's nice to see you pulling them in, still. Tight lines, Bum. American Nympher, out.

Thanks Cory. I learn more with every video. Please keep them coming. Were you running the bi-color sighter the full length from the fly line to the tippet? I currently run 18 ft. of color 5x, then 4 ft. of bi-color and then tippet. Just curious as it would simplify the set-up. Thanks again.

Nice, really helpful video Cory…thank you as ever…just a couple of technical comments if I may…did you read the sighter or feel the take from the beach towel thru your mono rig setup? …for more finesse and ultimate sensitivity, I’m building a prototype 25ft long, minus 2 wt global nymphing rod so that I don’t need to cast at all…I’ll just hold the rod out across the river, rotate my body a bit and lower a suitable length of 15X or thinner fiber optic detector tippet straight down to the fish …might need a longer handle landing net too but gotta keep thinking up new things for my lovely wife to buy me 😂have a great trip out West to the Madison etc …all the best, take care

Howdy Cory nice video enjoyed the content. Have to try a mop on a windy day…… I switched to the pezon michel line love it… were you able to get to pens for the green drakes? peace.✌🏻

Excellent teaching

Thanks Cory for more great content! What do you feel are the best attributes of a good drift, besides catching one haha. Do you strive to get your underwater tippet all in the same seam, and see the sighter slower than the foam? Happy for you on another western trip.

Hey, awesome video. Could you please give a quick break down of your leader make up? For example: 6X = 5', sighter = 4', butt section 5'. Im pretty new to this and am struggling to cast with a very long leader, i am just wondering have i made it too long?

Cory, Any tips on managing the excess slack during the beginning of a drift on longer casts? I notice that some of my drifts start out with a pile of tippet/sighter above my flies, which requires either fast line management or lifting my rod before I can get tight. Both solutions seem pull my flies out of the lane that I would like to fish, which I would like to avoid. Cheers & thank you! Ryan

When you state a 25’ cast, is that including the length of the rod or 25’ of line ?

How deep are these runs? I say it because your saying your using 2.3/2.8mm and a heavy bead seems to be a 3.3mm. I can understand that if water 2' and less if there is good current, but I seem to be fishing runs that are 2'+ easy and upwards of 3' to 5' (some I am not even sure off). I am catching fish with 3.3-4mm beads often on 12-16 size hooks. I tie all my own nymphs and perdigons (your tying videos have been very helpful, and I am catching fish on the walt's worm especially, but on the 3.3-3.8 beads). I am occasionally ticking bottom with what I am using and really have not lost any. When I go to 2.3-2.8 and add in some wind I feel it's pulling my flies off the bottom and out of the drift. I just lack the confidence to know that what I am doing is the right thing, I know the ultimate test is catching fish which with the heavier beads I am more so than last year. Do you just start ticking bottom and then lighten or do the opposite till you get the "feel" of that 3-6" off the bottom in the strike zone (I think that what Devin Olsen has talked about)? I also switched to the Sempe line in .18mm and .16mm for running line and sighter, the difference vs that older suggestions of 10-12lb amnesia or Chameleon (I am going to try the Lance Egan formula in those heavier lines, but I need confidence first) the micro leader is the deal. The Sempe line just doesn't have that memory so it's always tight (I got the JMC, Baetis and Soldarini to try too). I Caught a 16" and change rainbow in the ADKs, (just missed that angle award) never felt like my line was going to cause me to loose the fish. That Cortland Ultra costs some money, but totally worth it.

What is the hitch you have at the end of your cast?
