I can listen to Tom talk about flyfishing all day, thanks for the great content!

One of the best Nymphe fishing Videos i've ever Seen! Greetings from Austria

[@kentmayland1728]

GREAT video. I like the relaxed style of presentation, and the underwater close-up footage is superb. All the "trout logic" makes good sense. WELL DONE!!!

[@PiRaHelTur]

Got a nice Troute on nimphe today...16 inches.

[@Michu_zic]

Great episode, thx ☺️

[@natureandfishing24]

Beautiful video.

[@bigrod0069]

I like how you say it's not an exact science, I like how you tell people what to do, thanks for the good video, nice brown too , beautiful fish, thanks in gonna give it a whirl again

Best fly show

[@joeg5414]

Interesting. I started to use this induced take method a lot recently and have started catching way more fish with my nymphs. Nice to know theres a name for it. I've kinda gotten carried away with it and definitely more aggressive with my lift than he is in this demonstration, but no reason to stop since I'm catching double the amount of fish in certain situations. I feel like I very rarely see people doing this though. I'm always happy when I see techniques I've learned on my own demonstrated in these videos😂 never had a lesson or been on a guided trip but I've been fly fishing off and on for 25 years almost.

Same brother, but for 60 years. 😎

[@johngetz8585]

Water load...aka...the "chuck and duck"... works very well.

[@Makete100]

I really appreciate this much needed information. I have a question though, what causes me to get knots in my leader?

[@newflyfisher]

those are caused by your casting, often referred to as "wind knots". with time and experience you won't have those

[@Makete100]

@@newflyfisher Thank you.

[@steveflicker5248]

Best bet practice casting on a lawn if you have space. It's much easier to focus on improving when your not also trying to catch fish.

[@kentmayland1728]

I get these wind knots every now and then. Often on a windy day. Take up slack BEFORE you cast; try to keep your loops tight. I KNOW: it does not always work that way, practically; especially in stream situations where due to brush/trees you do not have a clear back cast.

[@terryfarrell1757]

I've been nymph fishing quite a few years. Gentleman that taught me to nip this is one of the best I ever saw. Taught me never to use indicator. You watch the fish. He will tell you when it's on

[@reneguay1347]

how many times would you cast to a fish in a pool before moving on

[@sdonthefly]

Tom Rosenbauer is to fly fishing what Bob Ross was to painting

[@edperry6199]

Here in Utah, we have a lot of creeks that are gin clear. It seems like the fish can see you pull up in the parking lot a quarter mile away and go down. I try coming up from behind them but they are not interested. The only time I have success is when it's raining. So I don't catch many... rarely rains. But If I hear rain in the mountains, I head up and hope for rain. By the way, all the TV stations are stupid for not picking this show up and having it on every Sat or Sun.

That's the Eric Liser lift!!! I've been Flyfishing 56 years !!! And tying ! I knew Eric! And Lee and Jone Wolff and many others ! Frank Matteralli gave me two wip finishers on the buffalow Ford, Yellowstone river he just started making them!!!

[@themedhunter]

Just a spectacular video with tons of useful but not too much info! Thank you from @themedhunter 🙂

[@newflyfisher]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jimringo2569]

Sorry I don't get it, show the rigs what else do you have?

Although the bottom current "ALMOST" always flows more slowly than the surface current there is an exception to that. Normally the current at the bottom flows more slowly because of all the structure at the bottom - rocks, depressions, brush, tree limbs, etc., while there's nothing to constrict the flow at the surface. However when you run into an upward sloping bottom at a tailout that leads into a riffle, the current at the bottom moves faster than the surface. The reason for that is hydraulics. The total mass of water is being compressed and unless the water spreads out a lot wider than where it came from,. The only way it can deal with the compressing channel is to move faster along the bottom that is compressing it. And that's where the bottom current starts shooting along the bottom faster that the surface. You can see this yourself very easily the next time you are at a tailout with a sloping rise in the bottom. Tie on a bright orange fly that is large enough to be seen in the water you are fishing and cast it out so the nymph and any split shot enter the water first and the indicator lands up-current of the fly and shot. This is normally a great way to fish nymphs because the current is pushing slack at the fly and, without any tension on the fly, it sinks quickly. However, what you will see here is your indicator starts dragging behind it and can even generate a V wake. Now cast it (straight out) so the fly and shot land up-current of the indicator and once the fly gets into the bottom current you can watch it race to overtake the indicator and then start dragging it down current. I was amazed the first time I saw this. So how do you compensate for this? First, spot the fish you want to present the fly to or at least the part of the water where you think a fish will be. Then, using a bright orange fly, make a straight-out cast (indicator hits the water down-current of the fly) to the side of your target - a foot or so should be enough - and and watch how fast the fly passes the indicator and where it passes it. Now your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to adjust your cast so the entry of your fly is far enough upstream to pass almost directly under your indicator when it drifts just in front of the trout. It's not easy and it requires a fly change to something the fish is feeding on, but it hugely increases your chances of catching fish with a nymph in a tailout that has a sloping rise to the bottom. Now here comes a bit of heresy...you don't have to get a perfect dead drift to catch trout - you just have to get close to a dead drift. Even when fishing a run or a pool, as Tom points out in this video, the current at the bottom of these sections will be flowing slower than the current at the top and depending on your cast, sometimes the fly will be pulling the indicator and sometimes the indicator will be pulling the fly. Only for a very short period of time will they be drifting absolutely at the same rate. But when you get close enough, they'll take it. I actually wrote an article for American Angler that was published back in 1997 titled, "Close Enough To a Dead Drift" that was primarily about fishing nymphs with sinking line tactics and that gets into this a bit more. You still want to get the best "drag-free" drift you can, but it's nice to know that if you get close enough to it, the fish will take it. And, fishing in faster water is more forgiving than fishing in slow water because in slow water they have much longer time to inspect the fly before it passes by. It's a split-second decision in fast water.

[@Ja8888]

How are there not more comments about this? Fantastic information, thank you @dgracia18 !!! All the rivers I have fished, the flys are ALWAYS way ahead of the indicator. It puzzled me if I was doing something wrong, because all these videos show the opposite. So, in these kind of currents, you should cast upstream to allow more time dead drift time?

Hello, I’m a new for the fly fishing. I’m musician, play violin and viola. I’m originally from Ukraine. In Ukraine fly fishing is not popular, I would like to introduce fly fishing for the Ukrainians and I need a support. I will be very appreciated for any help and support in this. I just got my orvis combo, I’m very low on the budget, and don’t know what kind of flys I need to have. Will be very appreciated for any suggestions! Thank you so much for your understanding. I’m living in Delaware

[@pressop1963]

The way you are handling those trout when unhooking is horrible.

[@michaeljgraff]

down voted for premier. i know why you do it i just don't like it.

[@newflyfisher]

understand
