Five Flies for January 2020 - Euro Nymphing in Cheesman Canyon

There's no question that Euro Nymphing has gained quite a bit of popularity over the past several years. With some similarities to tight line nymphing, euro nymphing sheds the shackles of the modern bobber and relies on a direct connection to the flies. This technique allows you to fish a variety of water types not easily fished with a western indicator rig. With that in mind, we tagged along with Umpqua's own Russell Miller (Team USA Competitive Angler, Director of Marketing at Umpqua) to enjoy a little bit of European nymph fishing in Cheesman Canyon.

[@alldayjkfishing115]

Best Camera, Best Editing, Best Fishermen, this channel is so under rated.

[@TroutsFlyFishing]

Thanks AllDay!

[@flightstrash436]

AllDayJKfishing for real 🤦‍♂️

[@landrygael8473]

sorry to be off topic but does any of you know of a tool to get back into an instagram account?? I was dumb forgot my account password. I love any tips you can give me!

[@caysonpierce2515]

@Landry Gael Instablaster :)

[@landrygael8473]

@Cayson Pierce i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process now. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@midcoflyfishing]

Dude!!! Ivan!!! This video is so good!!! You crushed it!!! And I legit laughed out loud like 3 times. Great work. 👊

[@TroutsFlyFishing]

Thanks Kathleen. It was great to see you at the show.

[@fredleroux6920]

Thank you very much , great info for any aspiring competition fishermen

[@johnmilbow5953]

Rainbow Warrior is an awesome fly never leave home without different sizes

[@coloradooutdooradventures7051]

Love the jacket keeps me super warm too!

[@alexargyros7186]

Out of curiosity, what would would a good day be (in terms of numbers) Euro nymphing Cheeseman? BTW, thanks for the excellent video.

[@GSignz]

Could honestly just watch an hour compilation of the fishing edits

[@justinpierce7483]

Excellent video per usual. Question: Do happen to know what size tungsten beads Russ was using for each of the respective five flies? I imagine he was likely going fairly light (1mm - 2.5mm), but would be very helpful to know. Thank you!

[@TroutsFlyFishing]

We'll ask Russ!

[@levigueydan6410]

love the borat reference very nice, great success...

[@johnyorchak5162]

Love the videos guys. Question: Assuming I'm making some quality drifts, how many times do I make the drift before I make a fly change? You said sometimes pink and purple kill them but if they're not "killing" them that day do I make 5 good casts or 10? When I make a change I've heard that adding weight or sizing down with the same pattern is often the key.

[@zacharysauer1964]

Change weight, and if that doesnt work, change flies, but always try moving your flies around the column first

[@shawnbarry3893]

Thanks guys 🇺🇸

[@m40_kid70]

Personally I would swap that mop for and tungsten beaded egg, and that maybe influenced by the fact 9 months out of the year the trout I am targeting are seeing eggs in the system depending on the elevation

[@IslandLifeFishing]

Awesome video guys!! Amazing camera work. What camera are you using??

[@catchcamnets5085]

Great Info guys! As always

[@ivangalindo6572]

Ivan! Hell of a video brotha 😂

[@TroutsFlyFishing]

Ivan's supporting Ivan's...you love to see it. Thanks West Slope Ivan!

[@btstrout2761]

Nice video!

[@jakobee16]

Thanks for the video guys

[@tdk74]

Never fished chessman too many people. I’m blessed to have Wyoming and nw Colorado to fish. Less people always better

[@TroutsFlyFishing]

No doubt. Lots of good water up there.

[@staticfishing3932]

I was just there wish I would’ve crossed paths with you guys maybe ask for some tips a picture or something I don’t know I probably would’ve caught way more fish great video can’t wait till next month 🤜🏽

[@TroutsFlyFishing]

Next time, Static!

[@wessconce3215]

awesome video (but the look on Ivan's face when he said "mop fly"... )

[@fishalot1326]

Here's a question. What where the flows that day? If you remember

[@OlufsWaterview]

Nice vidja boys

[@tightlines601]

Dude yes!

[@saoirseclark]

Lads, your legends - great video! btw, Egan is a surname that comes from the Irish Gaelic name Mac Aodhagáin ;)

[@Mandolinman81]

Normally I love these videos… But this one, stop trying so hard with the euro jokes. I like this channel because you guys are funny and informative. This whole video just really misses the mark though.

[@OpportunityFishing]

Nice video! Gonna have to try the Euro Nymphing thing soon. Is there a 5 flies on winter streamers?

[@daveveon2104]

Killer soundtrack in opening minutes! Who was that?

[@Jaimelapoesie]

Two in German is Zwei.

[@TroutsFlyFishing]

Figured it wasn't "Doooo" 😂😂😂

[@kyleh9272]

Great video. Music rocks. Is it stock or from an artist?

[@mikeking453]

Really,who's the artist

[@walnuts6165]

The Thief in Marrakesh by Arc De Soleil

[@mikeking453]

@@walnuts6165 thanks!

[@kuduhunterkudu]

Great Video. Which Sitka jacket is that?

[@glencamblin]

Russ u missed a shout out to team USA and support them whenever possible so u guys can afford to travel and compete in the comps.

[@russellpmiller]

Very true. Thought of that on the drive home.

[@jackkruse8337]

You need a different sidekick. His attempt at comedy reverts back to 3rd grade. He adds nothing.

[@TroutsFlyFishing]

Appreciate the constructive criticism, Jack! Thanks for tuning in.

[@GPFISHINGPRO]

Не покупать ничего в этом магазине товары летят в другую страну и вы месецами ждёте посылку. Так же я получил не новый товар.

[@visonism]

The guy in the black needs to shutup and let russ talk. So annoying how he always cuts him and tries to be funny. Here's a hint.... you're not funny

[@TroutsFlyFishing]

It's Ivan. "Shut Up IVAN!"

[@gregb8824]

Idea: split the screen and leave the fly up while you're talking.

[@grady187]

They could just list them in the video description. Nah, too easy.

[@TroutsFlyFishing]

Great ideas, Gentlemen. Appreciate the feedback and we'll make some changes going forward.

[@grady187]

Trouts Fly Fishing thank you!

[@flyfishing739]

Why don't they ever show flies that aren't for tailwaters or spring creeks lol... The water is steaming warm.

[@TroutsFlyFishing]

Last month's Five Flies was on a freestone - the ole Arkansas River. Fact is, we have a lot of freestones and tailwaters around us and the tailwaters tend to fish better during these colder months.

[@brar090950]

Fly 2 is " Zwei " du Dumbkopf!

[@TroutsFlyFishing]

😂😂😂

[@mporter012]

I can't tell you how much I hate those sunglasses. WHY?!?

[@marcelinomenendezvallejo8350]

Annoying dudes!

[@Eeland_Stribling]

Not fucking with that techno shit
