Id imagine that it is easier...

Is there any conversion chart anywhere that one could use for reference?

does making three turns add to the strenght of the knot ?

This is interesting. The differences in hooks is confusing. I agree a comparison of hook gap would also be good. I always thought a 1XL long hooks was one size longer so #12 gap with a #10 shank, but I could be mistaken.

Unfortunately I get sea sick on a floating dock so a drift boat is a no no for me ! Love the video and I will stick to wading !

Devin, I couldn’t help but notice pretty much all your nymphs with a hackle collar are cdc. I know the blowtorch was originally tied with hen hackle but in recent years and formulas they’re all cdc. Curious to know if you favor cdc for your nymphs with a hackled collar and why?

I could so imagine the rower getting annoyed and pushing me in..

Hope you tipped the guy fat for all the hard rowing.

Thanks for the video.

Hello!🎏 Wasnt there like a part two of this ?🤔 Describing directional pulls? Can someone link me pls. Ty

Great Video Devin! Very informative

Over your right shoulder, what is that clamped on the rail of your boat? A Bimini quick disconnect?

I did it on the Green, works great

Wearing that dumb vest thing in a drift boat is almost gayer than euro nymphing. Stay off the Bighorn and GTFO of Wyoming.

This was a great video, Devin! I often get the same question, but I don't fish from a drift boat ever. Now I will send everyone to this video who asks! Thanks!

i only contact nymph on a boat unless there is a big dry fly hatch

Great tutorial, Devin. My dad and I have been doing this on the White River in Southern Missouri for ~6 years. You're right, it is a team effort! The person on the oars plays as big of a role in success as the angler (maybe even bigger). You're spot on with your suggestions for setup when drifting vs wade fishing (longer rod is helpful, slightly heavier tippet/leader, longer tippet length, and slightly heaver (or sometimes a lot heavier) bead size to cover variable water depth and less than ideal drifts situations). -Cheers

What reel is that?

Having never nymphed from a boat and not likely to in this lifetime it was still a great video. One question. If you could only have one nymphing rod what would you choose? Make and weight. Thanks

Yes and it’s kind of boring

Yup. I do it regularly. Fun way to fish

Works incredibly well actually!

Yes you can

Great tips... Thank you from the U.K. @MarkTwrites

Is it 2 or 3 turns? Video shows 3 but you’re counting 2. I’ve tried it both ways and 2 appears to be correct. I’ve been using the knot for a while now and unfortunately I’ve had a number of break-offs on big fish, including another last night. Just wondering if I’m doing something wrong. Thanks for any guidance. Love your stuff.

Does the 1wt have a fragile tip? I’ve had some issues with my echo shadow II 2wt tips breaking but no issues with the 3wt version. Also how does the 1wt do at casting a flyline for dry fly fishing? I need a rod that can handle 8x for a local tail water. Mostly nymphing but I’d want to be able to throw a furled leader on to fish small dries as well.

Very helpful thank you

That's my go-to for dropper tags as well... have known it as the Orvis Tippet Knot. Love your tying approach. Clearly easier and faster than what I was doing. Any reason to not use it in place of a surgeons knot for just adding tippet? I expect it's stronger but I'm not sure. Definitely sticking with blood knots for leader building.

Great content. Some of your music is annoying.

Is this still the easiest way to tie a squirmy?

Dude! That is a cool fly! I've been looking for a fly that uses squirmy woormies!

What hooks are you using on this fly ?

Thanks, I was thinking about the 10’ 3w. After seeing you I’m looking at the 10’ 2w.

Are you using a Wychwood parabolic drogue in this video? I’m looking to use a drogue with my drift boat. I’ve heard some people prefer conical drogues with drift boats due to the wind catching the bow more than the stern. However I’d like a drogue that I could use on a drift boat, as well as a flat-bottom aluminum boat. If you have a recommendation, I’d love to hear it!

What type net and size

I have to ask - what is the intro music please? I know it but can’t remember what it is or who wrote it.

Thanks for the informative talk at the beginning. Dense and to-the-point. A question, though -- on the first couple fish you catch, you seem well close-enough to tightline that area effectively. Are you choosing to float the sighter there just for demonstration purposes, or would you indeed choose to float rather than tight-line at that close of a range? Thank you.

Nice video Devin. A couple questions: Why did FIPS-MOUCHE ban the squirmy wormy? And how does the DNA worm compare in robustness to chenille worms?

So....about the fly fishing team. What is it? How does ine join? Is it fun? Is there a chance for compensation? Who di i bribe, sleep with, or kill to do it?

The depths to which people will sink to catch a fish... Real 'sportsmen' they are... You'll never see one of these in my fly box.

Fully agree with a single Davy for small flies - a very small and secure knot. I haven’t ever used a clinch knot, but certainly used a Double Davy on tippet rings and larger flies. The extra turn does not make the knot massive and adds just a little more security. Your mentor will of course told you, that droppers must be ‘fixed’, in fly fishing competitions where a designated fly line and leader are used. Sliding droppers were a fundamental part of Polish style fishing, but even they had to adapt for competitions! Outside of competitions, anything goes!😉

Excellent video for someone like myself who is very new to EN. What sort of length leader would you generally fish in water like that?

Great video! What are you using to attach the magnet to the net so it swivel like it does? Thanks

The Zoolander!

Random question. do you or have you considered using solder to attach your slotted beads? Do you have an opinion on it? I saw someone do it and tried it some. Felt like it kept me from fraying my tying thread on beads that had a sharp edge sometimes and added extra weight.... but it probably makes my flies slightly more inconsistent weight wise.

That's gonna be handy to make my Pts more durable

I was excited when I heard about this fly. Thanks for sharing. On a different note, do you have any Caddis patterns that you recommend for a Grannom larva and pupa?

What’s the sink rate comparable to with regards to your other patterns?

So - I read the description & see this is going to be in the FM catalogue soon. Is there a reason for that/is there any advantage to this over a traditional pheasant tail/frenchie? I can definitely see the advantage from a tying perspective (guide flies=quick & easy) but want to know if there’s anything differentiating this from a fishing perspective.

Watching your tying videos convinced me that fly tying doesn’t have to be as difficult as I had built it up in my head to be. I’ve had great success with all of your patterns and I’m sure this one won’t be an exception. Thanks!
