Location. Prague, Czech Republic. May 14, 2021. #1. Hey guys! I'm considering Euro rod for trophy parts (where you can encounter trouts 20-30 inches / 50-70cm). These rivers are usually mid to large size, with deep pools. I wanna use it for heavier nymphs and streamers on mono leader. Since most of my regular nymphing is done for …Dec 20, 2021 · 1,544. Location. Boston, Mass. Mar 8, 2023. #16. I have no idea if they're any good, never heard of them until now, but I have enough of a problem with tangling weighted nymph rigs that I am curious. They are $25 for a pack of 10, not $25 each. That's not much more than the price of flies, so maybe they're worth a try.

Also, I ended up at Michaels last week on my way to Joannes and found 2mm foam for 99 cents for a 12x18 sheet. 6mm suitable for streamer box liners for $1.50.

Sounds like they will be coming out with a long handle/skinny next season. By the by Ard, a sharpy marker works on the handle of the Nomad. Now we have a measure net, with my name on it.

The sight fishing has been incredible and seeing 18 inch trout come up and slowly inspect flies has made me a paranoid fly tier. In rivers fish only have a few seconds to decide to hit something. In these mountain lakes with 4-6ft of visibility the fish sometimes slowly circle my fly for 30 seconds before they decide to take it.An update to my original post and some more information. I fished the Dynamix 6 weight this weekend with a 250 grain sink tip line and it was a blast. We were hitting the banks with casts of 30-60 feet from a boat and it performed like a champ. You couldn't force the rod but with a nice relaxed stroke it easily got the job done.4. Apr 4, 2014. #4. Fluorocarbon is a good tippet material for nymphing and streamer fishing. I use mono for dry flies. Frog Hair makes some really good tippet materials for dry fly fishing. Dedicated tippet materials are more supple than lines made to be used for main line.

Nov 24, 2011 · Re: A Thread for the Dry Fly Purest; Hi Ard, You've pretty much summed up dry fly fishing for me. Yvonne and I would rather catch bluegills on drys, than dredge a nymph for deep trout. Blue-Winged Olives are a particular favorite, and we can usually get something to rise to a small BWO of the temperature is above 50 degrees.

Many years ago I created a fly box and insert system so I could always use the same 4 fly boxes and just swap out inserts based on where I went fishing. Mostly I organize them first by fly type (dry, streamer, EN, wets, nymphs/emergers) then within that I group them by insect (or fly). 3,454. Location. quiet corner, ct. May 19, 2015. #3.

Hunt, Next to Abel and Hatch most other reels do suffer by comparison. But in trout fishing, as rods get lighter, there is a major need for skeletonized, light weight reels with adequate performances for proper match up and Nautilus and Galvan are two important contenders here.

The Stickman Ti5 10 foot 5 weight is lighter in swingweight than the Hardy UL NSX, but in terms of action and feel, there is not much in it. I look at the Stickman as being a 5/6 where as the Hardy is a pure 6 and can handle a 7 if need be. The swingweight of both the 6 and 7 NSX is lighter than the original Loomis …Jun 25, 2012 · Location. Houston. Jun 25, 2012. #2. Take I-45 south to Galveston till you hit Sea Wall, then left (east).

Mid August fishing on the Madison with my teenage daughter, which will mostly include playing a round of golf on the drive up.

The 907-4 Radian is quite a soft rod and in my opinion, not a great streamer rod if full sink lines and larger flies are going to be used. It simply has too weak of a tip to be a great streamer stick in my opinion. I would personally choose a 7wt Meridian or an 8wt Radian if it was me.

For fishing small water in an ultra lite fashion it would be a sweet rod with action similar to today’s Winston B3X. In fact, you might check to see if you can get a 2wt B3X on sale that in my opinion, approximates the flex and action of the Sage 389. I have 2 B3X’s and really like them. My 2 cents. Best, SR.

California Fly …Euro nymphing is not a naughty Google search. It is a style of fly-fishing that uses three nymphs and little or no fly line on the water. The rods used for this method are longer than usual at 9.5 to 11 feet. These rods are rated for standard fly lines (i.e. #4) but often anglers use a level line, which has no taper at all.Reaction score. 2,184. Location. Portland and Maupin, Oregon. May 15, 2022. #4.

The rollers come in a 10 pack - they are far smaller than I anticipated - as small as a small tippet ring. They are plastic so if you use forceps to work with, you have to be careful not to squish them. So they are $2.5/piece.Nice reel overall, but not really confidence inspiring. I have been doing a lot of reading and think I have my choices narrowed down to the Orvis Mirage LT or the Nautilus Classic XL Max with a standard XL spool. Both of the reels seem identical in features. Also, I am not a fan of the standard X.

May 9, 2011. #2. I spent a few weeks on the island of Eleuthera in the Bahamas, and there is really decent fishing and the flats are very accessible. Accommodations can be found for pretty cheap, even as low as $50 a night (for a small apartment). Car rentals are pretty steep, but necessary (the standard rate is $50 a day).Sort-of an “A” shape, if that makes sense. Now, not much of an issue if one remains conscious and can deploy the PFD to the intended vest position but, if there is a loss of consciousness, the PFD may not work as intended.
