I started with the mono rig from troutbitten and then eventually stepped down to a micro system. My current set up is 25" of 4x-5” of 4x sighter-tippet ring-appropriate length of tippet for depth, typically 5x or 6x.

[@NWoutdoorsadventures]

@@TheHillsHaveFlies how much tippet do you typically run after the tippet ring? I would assume it changes depending on the depth of the water ?

[@TheHillsHaveFlies]

@@NWoutdoorsadventures typically it’s about 3’ or so but some of the pockets are deeper and will lengthen it as needed.

Enjoyed the video. I had kind of the same experience first time with Euro with lots of fish. Now that you have discovered how great EN can be try to move to a micro leader. I'm casting either straight 25' of 4x or 6lb Amnesia depending on the water. This will add distance to your game and for me it was a game changer. You should be able to triple your casting distance in those situations where you can't sneak up on fish. It will also help with the sensitivity of your rig. Also, a dry dropper rig can be deadly in slower water with a euro setup. For wind keep your rod tip lower to keep less line from blowing in the wind. You can add weight as far as bead size and then pull them slightly to keep contact. There are times when the wind is so bad you have to add an indicator or use dry dropper. No biggie you just have to adjust. There are some videos out there with other tips on dealing with the wind. Hope that helps. You are on your way to becoming one of us Euro Nerds. :)

@@Gbow17 I appreciate all the advice! Super helpful info, can’t wait to get back out there with this set up.

Been using an Echo Shadow X for 4 years now on these same rivers. Love it and bobber nymphing just feels clunky now. Not sure how long your leader is but my setup is 20 ft of 20lb maxima chameleon -> 3 ft of 12lb amnesia -> 18" sighter -> tippet ring -> then whatever X tippet you want. I usually go with 6 ft 4x and have a dropper/dangler about 20" up. Using the 20ft of maxima helps with the wind a bit. Hope this helps.

[@NWoutdoorsadventures]

@@RedBeardFly I really appreciate the leader advice I will have to try that. I’m very new to this set up, that should really help with the wind problems I had. As it’s almost always windy in our area.

Not a fan. Catching becomes more important than the journey to the point of the eat. I'll stick to the traditional methods. Might as well go deep sea fishing with a 5lb piece of lead and a large hook with bait.

[@NWoutdoorsadventures]

@@allendks45 hey to each their own, I hate to hate on methods I haven’t tried personally. Only one way to find out.

[@SigmaWolfOutdoors]

It's good to learn and expand ...not every piece of water is .. pnw .dry fly.. or strippin for bulls ...

[@NWoutdoorsadventures]

@@SigmaWolfOutdoors agreed

[@Antler_addict]

I need to dust off the old fly rod & give it another shot. I hate fly fishing & barely have any interest in waving around a fairy wand. It's the only style of fishing that I can't stand. I have a grand invested but I just do not like it one bit.

[@NWoutdoorsadventures]

@@Antler_addict perhaps consider selling that stuff, you could get yourself a really nice spin set up with that $$$ I get it it’s not for everyone.
