How To Catch More Trout!! (Euro Nymphing Tips and Tricks)

Catch Cam Nets: catchcamnets.com
Natives Fly Fishing KZbin: / @nativesflyfishing8779
GO CHECK THEM OUT!!
In this video Bradly Clodfelter goes over some tips and tricks to make you better at euro nymphing and a better all around angler. We caught over 100 rainbow trout in one day and had a blast learning from Bradley.
With a beautiful early spring day we had rainbows even eating dry flies in their search to fatten up before their spawn. It isn't often that you hit it right and get so many fish to the net. So many in fact that many of them didn't make the cut.
Go check out Catch Cam Nets and get a new net!! I hope you guys enjoyed.

I noticed that I could spot a take before the guys in the video could by watching the slack in the line between the last eyelet to the left hand. Very interesting. Great video.

[@markhopkins3825]

Another great video production. Professionally produced with a downhome, trustworthy touch. Great tips and helpful training.

[@hardmanfishing]

Thank you so much!

[@davidleimeister5027]

Love this video. To a group of guys fishing together like that makes me love the sport even more.

[@hardmanfishing]

It was a fun day on the water for sure! It's fun sharing the stream with other guys who have the same passion.

[@zumalot]

Really nice size and numerous rainbows today. Very enjoyable just to watch. Thanks!

[@hardmanfishing]

Thank you!! Another one is coming Friday with even more fish. But glad you enjoyed the video

[@danielcannaday2207]

Great video as always good tips I still trout fish often but I haven't fly fished in years I'm gonna get back into it soon

[@hardmanfishing]

That's awesome!! You should definitely get out there and try some fly fishing again! Thanks for watching

[@flyguy2021]

I like this new format for you guys.

[@hardmanfishing]

Thank you!! I probably won't do it too often just because I don't always fish with a guest. But when I do this will generally be how the video goes.

[@danieltimbs4573]

Another cool video with some great tips. I love euro nymphing with 2 flies. I love tying nymphs to use!! I tie a lot of my nymphs with Lively Legz in them. Cool company with some great products!! Thanks for another great video!!!

[@hardmanfishing]

Thank you for watching!! I'm glad you enjoyed the video

[@patspangler2351]

Excellent instructional video. I hope you show how you rig those two nymph setups.....knots and dropper leader lengths. Looking forward to part two. Thanks

[@hardmanfishing]

Glad you enjoyed! And I don' think we actually went over knots/the leader too much. If I were you I'd look up some actual videos on how to tie the euro rig. But basically it is a triple surgeons knot but you're leaving the tag end longer. Of course in the next video Bradly uses a completely different knot so I guess it is up to you.

[@michaelsmith7193]

Wow -- some very impressive techniques indeed! Great video!

[@hardmanfishing]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!

[@uni_shadow164]

Nice Video Gang! Great footage, I would get that Net replaced or repaired! Some good rainbows in that river! Well Done...

[@knhoriuchi]

Thanks for the instruction

[@jeromefynaut8177]

Thanks for the tips and sharing 👍

[@johnbresnock8244]

Great tip on the fast water! I witnessed the same fishing steelhead in less water.

[@BryceK60]

Man you guys were knocking them dead. Great tips. I bought a fly rod a few years back haven't used it much. I'm a spinner fisherman but would like to get into fly fishing more and start learning to use it. Looks like alot of fun and more challenging. Great video as always.

[@hardmanfishing]

I love spinner fishing too, that is how I got my start in trout fishing. But if you have the time you should definitely try and get into it. Once you catch a fish or two on the fly it is hard to go back.

[@BryceK60]

@@hardmanfishing that's what all my fly fishing buddies tell me I'm going to have to break it out and do it.

[@mountaingoatgreg1691]

Great action in this video! Fish density = infinity

[@hardmanfishing]

Yessir! And this time of year the fish size can be impressive! Thanks for watching Greg. By the way you've been catching some absolute giants! Keep it up man

[@frankieshoenfelt8550]

Great Work Guys👊

[@hardmanfishing]

Thanks Frankie!

[@rex7lee]

Great video! Nice rainbows!

[@hardmanfishing]

Thank you!

[@chasinbowsnbrowns3657]

Great video guys , at the end of February got pretty banged up with COVID! Lucky to be here but for a guy who’s in the water every couple of weeks, it torture not being out there. For now watching other guys catch fish will have to do . You guys made my day ! Thank you and tight lines

[@hardmanfishing]

Hope all is well! Glad these videos can help get you through, even if its not much. And thanks for watching!

[@chaseyork9559]

Love the content, fly fish the same creek it’s loaded with fish!

[@hardmanfishing]

Yessir! It's a fun creek to fish.

[@baggetja1234]

Great video guys. Keep it up

[@hardmanfishing]

Thank you so much!

[@missouritroutbums598]

Nice video as always

[@hardmanfishing]

Thanks!

[@ReedyFlies]

Great video! I am thinking about jumping into euro nymphing but haven’t yet. Do you have any recommendations for me to get started?

[@scottnock5241]

Nice video brother! They were some very nice wild rainbows in that stream! I’ve never seen wild rainbows that big in Pennsylvania or West Virginia. Too bad about the net fail it happens should’ve just stitched it together with some heavy tippet...

[@hardmanfishing]

Yep. And I knew about the hole I was just couldn't stop fishing. I ripped it on a bunch of briers getting to the creek. But yeah this creek has only wild rainbows and during the spawn there are always some bigger ones that push up. It is super fun fishing

[@bb-fe9ur]

You've came a long way in 2 years

[@hardmanfishing]

That's the truth! I'm always so tempted to delete these old videos. But I keep them up just to be able to remember how far I've come (both in fishing and editing)

[@forgottenforest1]

Awesome tips

[@Pwrcritter]

Thinking of getting into EN myself. Gr8 vid.

[@hardmanfishing]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed

[@deeem-tee799]

What brand/size net is used in video? Catchcam doesnt seem to offer that type. Thanks!

[@tedtosterone8210]

Yea bro the swish threw our nets SUCK, unlike the ones we throw threw the nets in our driveways. Tomorrow is another day for a GREAT memory. Sweet vid BROS :)

[@hardmanfishing]

Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed

[@gldead3741]

Love the videos ! Where do you guys fish ?

[@jeffreylea2319]

What is the music used in this video? I like it quite a lot! As for the video and the fishing? Slam Dunk!

[@jayk.2276]

Have you guys watched lance egans modern nymphing? Pretty sweet series on euro nymphing, the guy is such a pro haha.

[@hardmanfishing]

I've watched a few different things, not sure if I've seen that or not but I believe I have. A lot of those guys have been nymphing longer than I've been fishing haha

[@TheCedler]

Hi do you still have any brownies down there in US or rainbows only? I know nothing just courious;) Good video!

[@danielcallaway5650]

Lots of Browns!! World record size too.

[@jameslent1622]

Do you guys use the euro sighter, or go by feel when nymphing those smaller streams? Just curious as to your approach that way, some of those I feel like you wouldnt wanna use any indicator. Also, is there a native strain of rainbow out there at all? Super gorgeous bows, thanks take care.

[@hardmanfishing]

Well I learned I am supposed to go off of the sighter but I find myself using feel a lot. Which is a habit I'm trying to break. But no we don't have a native strain of rainbow. Although those rainbows have been in the creek for probably 50 years or more at this point.

[@jameslent1622]

@@hardmanfishing thanks gotcha id love to catch some of those bows. I need to find something that works without an indicator when waters clear and low to not spook fish

[@hardmanfishing]

@@jameslent1622 Yeah that is the good things about euro nymphing. The lack of an indicator makes it so you almost never spook fish, at least not by fishing to them. It is also crazy effective

[@jameslent1622]

@@hardmanfishing no doubt I've gotta practice more, I love doing the little scrub stick on indicator lol. What state out by WV do you guys like fishing the most, and which has the best access in your opinion?

[@larryhudson4511]

What a fun day!

[@hardmanfishing]

Yessir! It doesn't get much better!

[@MrBoomer-jl2gw]

I tried the traditional fly casting and never enjoyed it. My arm would feel like it would fall off. Never knew about euro nymphing. Now i will most likely get into nymphing

[@canadiangemstones7636]

Ridiculously rich creek, well fished!

[@daletowler1354]

Hardman, I was thinking that you and I should enter cherokee, N.C. trourt tourment next year 2023

[@hardmanfishing]

Sounds like fun!

[@tightliningmd]

This video takes some patience. 4 guys on a small stream is a lot of your turn my turn. Enjoyed the video as always. Loads of good content in here. Was he using a sighter at all? I see he is going with Euro Fly line. As you know I am more of a Mono Rig enthusiast. Many ways to fish and all successful. Just curious how he picks up strike detection. Did your brother dirty by the way. Guest catches a huge fish then poor Andrew put on camera catching a dink. Overall enjoyed the video and look forward to the next one.

[@hardmanfishing]

Yes he uses a sighter. I think you can make it as difficult or as easy as you want to honestly. I know a lot of people use mono rigs and it is supposed to be pretty awesome. But yeah we pretty much just took turns, as I told Andrew I've fished that stream enough that I don't care who catches the fish. Just happy to be out there!

[@endern5806]

What Waight od this Syndicate is it?

[@isaacszeto5459]

Idk if I missed it or something, but it looked like the first guy didnt set his hands before handling the fish. It is possible I didn’t see it if he did, but I’d hate to see such beauties die if illness because of improper handling

[@isaacszeto5459]

Wet*

[@chaseyork9559]

What flies was y’all using?

[@hardmanfishing]

So we changed flies a lot on this day which I why I didn't go over it much. As Bradly said at the beginning of the video we changed flies based on depth and other water conditions. We used a pheasant tail, hairs ear, midge patterns, mop flies,, etc.

[@iwaders1117]

👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@mormegilthurin5421]

How much does he charge for those nets with a hole in it😅

[@sc928porsche8]

you need to try Asian Nymphing!

[@canadiangemstones7636]

Agree 100%! Asian nymphos are the best!

[@chadfreiberg4037]

Did someone say there’s tires in the stream. I would have just left. Great vid, just not my thing.

[@shad3128]

Jersey Trout will bunk up in any tire or hubcap they can hide from osprey or eagles in 😮 fishins' fishin

[@dpace17]

tip for novice anglers, drop shot/bounce rig fished without an indicator is more effective than euro nymphing on small streams imo, and you lose less flies to snags

[@hardmanfishing]

imo I don't like drop shot rigs. Just because you like something better doesn't mean the other is for "novice" anglers. Thanks for watching!

[@dpace17]

Hardman Fishing Adventures I hear you, I just feel like too many new anglers are getting on the hype train that is euro nymphing without realizing there’s other methods out there. Also not saying euro nymphing can’t be more effective, like most things there’s pros and cons to both

[@jasonvining8108]

Where are u fishing? Some one trimmed those bushes.. privately owned trout club? Try Michigan public great natives but no one will be trimming the banks..

[@jasonvining8108]

Looks like fun though I am a bit jealous.

[@hardmanfishing]

Nope this is public water 😂 some places have part of the banks that are privately owned. But I don’t fish water that’s not publicly accessible

[@johnbakken1853]

Too many cooks. Too small of creek. Still a solid informational video.

[@Charles-qr7ne]

pointless

[@jimangela4589]

That net. I've been flyfishing over 50 years, never owned a net, never used one.

[@hardmanfishing]

Well you should definitely invest in one! Makes landing fish a lot easier

[@FeistySavage]

If you've never needed a net, you've missed a TON of fish by using super heavy tippet. Light tippet gets loads of trout and it breaks off a lot without a net. Sucks that you've fished so much and missed so many fish 🤔

[@jimangela4589]

That's confidently ignorant.

[@dilonpedro6865]

A year a year ??? Tf that’s not a Loooong time at all
