There are many references to this style of fly fishing...Euro Nymphing, Czech Nymphing, Tight Lining. Whether you're on a smaller or larger river, Euro Nymphing has proven to yield more fish. The Kenai River is faster and deeper. Euro rigs get down much more quicker and you control the depth of your drifts more easily. Due to the depth and speed of the river, regular indicator rigs typically spend the first part of the drift getting down to depth and the depth isn't adjustable mid drift.
You'll definitely want to have some previous experience with Euro rigs and the technique before booking this day on the water.
-Required Equipment-
- Preferred - 10'-11' 3-5wt Euro Rod
- Acceptable - Fly rod with euro nymph leader (this setup will have a shorter reach and decreased sensitivity)
