Great video James ! very helpful for anyone who wants to give tight line nymphing a try…you certainly have some beautiful rivers to fish where you are …tight lines and best wishes, Wildish Club
My section of tapered leader, from fly line to 1st tippet ring, is about 1.7m / 5.5ft (then about 50cm of indicator tippet + water depth appropriate tippet)... good luck with it!
In essence, it's very similar. The heavy euro nymphing flies are vastly different from traditional tenkara flies, though, and you have adjustment to the line length & a reel to play larger fish off.
