This video is for new fly fisherman who want to learn how to euro nymph, as well as experienced anglers who want to expand their skills with one of the most effective and approachable fly fishing techniques for catching more trout. If you want to learn how to euro nymph, this video breaks the entire process down in a simple, practical way. This is euro nymphing for beginners, but it should also help anyone who wants to improve their setup, drift, strike detection, and hookset.

Euro nymphing is one of the most effective ways to catch trout, and it is used heavily by world-class competitive fly fishermen for a reason. In this video, I show exactly how I euro nymph while keeping everything as straightforward as possible.

We will cover the gear and setup I use, how I cast and drift through different runs, how I judge depth, what I watch for when detecting strikes, and how I set the hook. I also share three of my favorite euro nymphing flies.

You do not need the most expensive equipment to get started. A dedicated euro rod can make things easier, but the most important part is learning how to get your fly into the strike zone and keep it there.
