One of the most common questions I get is "can I Euro nymph from a drift boat?" Watch this video to find out.

Unfortunately I get sea sick on a floating dock so a drift boat is a no no for me ! Love the video and I will stick to wading !

This was a great video, Devin! I often get the same question, but I don't fish from a drift boat ever. Now I will send everyone to this video who asks! Thanks!

Great tutorial, Devin. My dad and I have been doing this on the White River in Southern Missouri for ~6 years. You're right, it is a team effort! The person on the oars plays as big of a role in success as the angler (maybe even bigger). You're spot on with your suggestions for setup when drifting vs wade fishing (longer rod is helpful, slightly heavier tippet/leader, longer tippet length, and slightly heaver (or sometimes a lot heavier) bead size to cover variable water depth and less than ideal drifts situations). -Cheers

Devin, I couldn’t help but notice pretty much all your nymphs with a hackle collar are cdc. I know the blowtorch was originally tied with hen hackle but in recent years and formulas they’re all cdc. Curious to know if you favor cdc for your nymphs with a hackled collar and why?
@tacticalflyfisher3817Ай бұрын
@@azurenscens yes if I’m adding soft hackle these days I generally use cdc. It moves more and folds into the fly when sinking. It’s also easy to break to the desired length with fingertips.

Having never nymphed from a boat and not likely to in this lifetime it was still a great video. One question. If you could only have one nymphing rod what would you choose? Make and weight. Thanks
@devonbustard1623Ай бұрын
Im not the right Devin, but I’d put my bet on a 10’6” 3wt. Dries, nymphs, small streamers, no problem! Big enough to horse 20” fish, finesse enough to detect bites. I’d also recommend echo rods if you’re just getting into it, try a carbon or shadow x!
@tacticalflyfisher3817Ай бұрын
That's a pretty tough question. I don't think I could narrow it to one specifically but currently my three favorite all around nymph rods are the Soldarini Hydropsyche 10' 6" 2/3, the Hardy Ultralite LL 10' 8" 0/2, and the T and T Contact II 10' 9" 3 weight.
