Great quote. It sounds like a deviation of Gretsky's "you miss 100% of the shots you don't take". Love it. Keep it up!

[@HardwayOutdoors]

Thanks!

[@alexargyros7186]

Thanks for a fantastic video. I agree with you that visual strike detection is far more effective than waiting for tactile messages. I also agree about how relatively unimportant "sensitivity" is when choosing a fly rod for Euro nymphing. Given that, I was wondering if you could share what your current favorite Euro rod is?

[@justinkilpatrick1124]

Love the video do you still go up to erie for steelhead like that one video it should me you can euro nymph for them thanks again

Thanks Justin!!

[@mdk2]

Awesome man! Good stuff as usual. Did you retire the old rod? Looks you made the switch to T&T. Thanks for sharing the video!

[@K.Welshh]

Great information! Thanks for the tips!!!

[@HardwayOutdoors]

Thanks man!

[@jeromefynaut8177]

Great video Dan starting euro nymphing I like the suffix line and how did you put your leader to sighted ring 1 or 2mm that was 8 lb. Suffix 6lb striker 5x Tipit just woundering just not sure how to set it up there’s a lot of information out there I would like a breakdown sense you are a guide thank you Dan tight line 👍

[@HardwayOutdoors]

Sorry, I’m having a hard time understanding what you said there. Feel free to shoot me a message to book a trip, I can teach you a lot more than through a message. Email: [e-mail] Thanks!

[@Avery_masters_outdoors]

Great vid man! I have been waiting for a new upload you made my day!!! Quick question. Have you ever used the lively legz mono leader???

[@HardwayOutdoors]

Thanks! No I just make my own leaders, quick easy and cheap.

[@scottnock5241]

Really cleaned em up today!!! I wish I could find streams that populated..

[@HardwayOutdoors]

Thanks Scott!

[@duckmanco04]

Killer video - no issues with spooking fish with that hi viz yellow? I’ve heard some of the more popular mono rig crowd claim it might, but figured I’d ask.

[@HardwayOutdoors]

@@duckmanco04 bright fly line yes, but I haven’t seen mono leaders disturb fish too much

[@duckmanco04]

@@HardwayOutdoors thanks man - last question - is it the superior or elite suffix. I’ve had it with my chameleon 10lb leader and want to try this one.

[@mightymountainoutdoors9603]

A wise man once told me “it’s all about the take.” I think sometimes he would fish with out a hook, just a tuft of rabbit hair. He was an interesting fellow.

[@bobsbrewery4884]

I liked the info about fishing across stream.Your leader what type sufix mono are you using.Are you running it off a euronymphing line.Your videos are always great.Cheers

[@HardwayOutdoors]

Cortland mono core line. And suffix high vis yellow is my leader

[@pheasanttales7607]

Dan, I’m curious as to why you run your line over the rod and into the first eyelet?

[@HardwayOutdoors]

It keeps it closer to my left hand incase I drop the line. I always need to have control of my line with my left hand to managed my drifts and to fight fish when hooked. Doesn’t effect casting or a large fish pulling line. Also minimizes sad between my index finger and my first eyelet

[@pheasanttales7607]

@@HardwayOutdoors awesome tip! After watching my own videos I’m seeing all these habits that probably aren’t helping me. Dropping that leader with my left hand happens more than I ever thought it did. Thanks!

[@HardwayOutdoors]

@@pheasanttales7607 good luck out there!

[@richricci3172]

Do you mind sharing some of your gopro settings ? Great vid as always buddy Tight lines

[@HardwayOutdoors]

I think it’s just on 1080 not 4k. Helps me save battery and card space

[@sethlconnor5]

Dan is your fly line out the end of the rod or do you run a micro knot to let it travel thru the guides?

[@HardwayOutdoors]

No my leader is long enough my fly line won’t come out my last rod guide. I was in a pinch for time that day and made the leader a little short that’s all. I just use a blood knot to attach leader to my cortland mono core line

[@rylanhicks501]

What is a black waltz worm? How are they tied differently than a regular waltz worm?

[@HardwayOutdoors]

It’s just black dubbing on a hook

[@mikeragan5187]

I'm changing my leader Dan... I better catch more fish! I'm glad you dint call it "tight- lining", I hate that! 😂 have you tried the leader in #8/#6?

[@HardwayOutdoors]

Mike! My next experiment is the suffix 8-6 pound leader. I just haven’t tried it yet. Thanks for watching hope you like the leader!

[@alexargyros7186]

@@HardwayOutdoors As a comp angler, you no doubt know that the trend in competition fly fishing is to lighter and lighter leaders. Do you have any experience with micro leaders and, if so, could you share your impressions of them?

[@colbycrim]

Do you guide for a living?

[@HardwayOutdoors]

Yes I do

[@colbycrim]

Maybe I can do something like that one day

[@findawayoutdoors6991]

Good video man!

[@HardwayOutdoors]

Thanks Hoss!

[@warrior_227]

Does being wrapped around your rod like that help or hinder? Asking for a friend. Great video, but man that drives me nuts when that happens 😂

[@HardwayOutdoors]

Just a personal thing I like to do to keep my line closer to my hand so it is easier to regain incase I drop it. Also creates less sag in the line between the reel and first guide. Thanks!

[@tyanez]

@@HardwayOutdoors I was going to ask about that as well! Thanks, good stuff, as usual.
