Hey guys, so after the long hiatus from fly fishing. I did pop in to check the boards every few months the last few years. Unfortunately in LA there really aren’t trout streams ????. But now I’m back in WV! But anyways I was always interested in euro nymphing, I almost bought the sage esn when they where released! But here I am 3-4 years later... I just ordered a TFO drift, sage spectrum C reel, rio euro line, I build my own leaders, and so on.
But I have some questions on nymphs. So I have been chatting with a few US fly fishing members about this specific subject. They are all recommending Sz 12-14 jig hook. Some of you know the largest nymph I ever threw in PA was a 18 down to a 28. Am I just stuck in micro nymph/midge thinking? I know the amount of space to tie is smaller, I was just wondering. Obviously I’m going experiment with my local waters. Also does anyone have any tips on specific euro nymphing? I’m not trying to look like an idiot when I fly out to Utah to get guided/learn from Lance Egan.
