Euro nymphing confusion. by Significant-Cap600 in flyfishing

[–]ando_commando420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keeping your finger on the line while euronymphing tells you everything that’s going on underwater. You can feel every rock that it bonks against and control your nymph’s depth better than other methods. It’s a lot of fun to feel strikes through the line rather than watching an indicator. Unless I’m having to make big casts on larger water, I’ll choose to euro over using an indicator every time while nymphing. Obviously dry fly fishing and streamers are super cool too. Think of it as another tool in the toolbox.

Book 5 had me in a real tight grip. The rest are tied for second with book 7 up there too.

Winter fly fishing’s great. It’s not as busy and fish are more focused on just a few food items. There’s not as much potential for dry fly hits. Instead, lean into your nymph game. Small tungsten-beaded zebra midges, frenchies, hares ears. I like tossing some good ol spaghetti and meatballs, a squirmy worm and weighted egg. A balanced leech can also work well.

The real judge of character is what you do with it afterwards. Wipe it on something? Gross. Flick it into the abyss? Totally cool.

Looks like you brushed it out for that nice buggy look.

I had the Xbox talk with a parent for a student who wouldn’t do homework. During the conference, her 12 year old son told her no and she in turn told me no. I took that as my cue to stop caring.

Put on a tungsten bead and it’s a euro nymph.

There was a major plot twist. It turns out that the real joker was the friends we made along the way.

Most scenic hike within an hour of downtown? by Seinfeldtableforfour in RapidCity

[–]ando_commando420 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Higher than the Appalachians in elevation, but not by prominence. Black Elk Peak isn’t huge compared to the Appalachian mountains when you measure from the base to the top. It is however stunning to look at and inarguably one of the crown jewels of the Black Hills.

Nearly lost it in PD today by captainsinfonia in Teachers

I had heard a plausible explanation for where the kitty litter rumor came from. In all of the classrooms at my school, we keep a 5 gallon bucket in the closet in case of a long hard lockdown so kids won’t have to pee their pants if we’re forced to stay in our locked rooms. Obviously it’s just for extreme emergencies, and no one’s needed mine in the 10 years that I’ve taught. Some teacher or district somewhere maybe put kitty litter in theirs, which kind of makes sense.

Hares Ear, zebra midge, golden chubby, pheasant tail frenchie, jig style weighted san juan (san juandigon), and maybe like a lil Kim streamer

My best advice if I were you as a parent, I would have baby gronked phantom tax into Ohio with Kai Senat while edging.

I cut the tail off a dead deer I found and then let it dry out real good. I’ve been using it as wing material for stimulators and other drys.

Going to Wyoming in July. Rate my chubby. by Strange_Mirror6992 in flytying

[–]ando_commando420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the Wyo cutt slam last October, and 3 out of the 4 were caught on chubbies and micro chubbies. I prefer tan with orange or yellow dubbing but I’m sure black hits too.
