Euro nymphing is for CHEATERS! Or is it? In this one, you're the judge and jury as I share my experiences Euro nymphing for trout. This facet of fly fishing is so much fun and helps to catch more fish, but has a learning curve. What are your thoughts on Euro nymphing?

The Sweet 16 is everything that I love about tying Euro nymphs! Slender body, tight thorax, and that PINK bead that draws fish in. Paying homage to my daughter Josephine, be sure to try this fly out in a variety of situations. During the video, I share some tying and fly fishing tips, and please let me know how the Sweet 16 works for you!

Buying a fly tying vise is no easy decision! This video goes over the main types of vises, as I share similarities, differences, and characteristics I look for when purchasing. Suggestions are given to help when you ask others for advice. This is a very personal decision that relates to the types of flies that you tie. Good luck making a decision, and feel free sharing this video with others who are also considering a new vise.

The Sucker Spawn is a fly able to catch fish around the world, but especially in waters with a healthy sucker population. With many types of yarn and colors to choose from, the possibilities to fill a fly box are endless. You have many options when using beads and jig hooks too, but otherwise grab your favorite scud hook and get some of this pattern tied up TODAY!

In this video, I share tips to keep a CLEAN hook eye when fly tying. Few things are more frustrating than being unable to thread tippet through an untidy hook eye, thus here are some methods that will help tiers.

In this video, I discuss flies that have killed fly fishing for me...or have they?!?

Remember, this is a video where viewer participation is key, so be sure to share some of your experiences by logging in via YouTube, or you can share them with me via email: tcammisa@gmail.com

In this video, I share the "BEST" Squirmy Wormy yet! ;-) This version adds Orthodontic Elastics, giving you the ability to quickly insert new Squrimy material once those fish have torn apart your old one. The video ask for your opinion of this technique, and be sure to give insight behind your answer. As always, this is a pattern that catches many species of fish, and we discuss situations and setup for fishing the infamous Squirmy Wormy.

In this video, Stephen "Big T" Tomasovich is the guest tier, sharing an exceptional Euro nymph, the CDC Micro Bugger. Simple to tie, plus MANY ways to fish this streamer...it belongs in your box! Tie this in a variety of your favorite colors, including peach, olive, and black. Afraid to use CDC on a streamer? Get over that fear, as the fish certainly appreciate it. ;-) Thanks again, Stephen, for sharing this one!

Orvis Safe Passage Sling: https://amzn.to/2C2Akzs

The search for a fly fishing vest is similar to the search for the Holy Grail...never-ending! Using the Orvis Safe Passage Sling Vest over the last couple seasons, I definitely have loved its versatility, especially to "sling" it out of my way. In this video, I go over some of its main features, concentrating on everything you need to know if interested in purchasing the vest.

In this video, I share the "Perfect" Jig Nymph, which is a general Euro nymph tied with Semperfli Perfect Quills for the body. They are an excellent choice, being easy to utilize, plus allow the thread color to show through. Add some CDC and your favorite dubbing to a jig hook...and you're ready to catch some fish TODAY!

We welcome guest tier Rich Ferrara back, this time to share three lessons that he's learned from competitive fly fishing! In the sport for over 20 years, there's lots to learn, yet Rich's experiences in competitions has given him a new appreciation of fly fishing...plus insight to benefit us all.

Tying flies is so much fun, but requires a few essential tools. One of the most critical is a vise, and in this video review, we examine the Stonfo Elite. This vise is manufactured by an Italian company and offers tiers lots of options, including height, angle, and tension adjustments. Throughout the video, I share my thoughts about this high-quality tool, plus give you a close-up view of the components. A favorite section is when I showcase the vise holding a range of hooks...even a #32! Approximate base dimension: 7 3/8” x 6 3/8” x 1 5/8”

Thanks go out to Dave Allison for sharing the Film Critic with all of us. This Bob Quigley emerger has fooled a lot of fish over the years, and Dave's techniques and tips are excellent. Thank you, Dave, and I hope to have you on again in the future!

Cammisa's Sneak Attack is a fly I've been tying and fishing since 2018, and one in which I've had success. Then again, if you follow me on Instagram (@troutandfeather), you've already seen this fly and some of the trout caught on it. ;-) Keep the tie slender and experiment with the dubbing that works best for you. When fishing this jig nymph, I prefer sizes #14-16 on the point, and smaller sizes as a dropper. Have fun with the Sneak Attack!

The rumor is true: I have figured out a SECRET Koi pattern...in a flavor most would have underestimated. Special thanks to Tom Rosenbauer of Orvis for inspiring me to set out on this journey that I'm now sharing with all of you.

Harrison Hughes of Black Mountain Cinema joins us to offer three great fly fishing tips. Geared towards beginners, the tips that Harrison shares are applicable to all levels of fly fishers. Thanks for sharing these with us, Harrison, and let's see where fly fishing takes us next!

The Cahill Frenchie is a more representational jig nymph, walking that line between emerger and Euro nymph. Will Light Cahill mayflies be emerging on the stream bottom, where this is fished? Typically not, but the noticeable contrast will catch their attention, leading them to a pattern that consists of "food colors" they've grown accustomed to eating during hatch season. TYING TIP: Have some tied with brass beads, or none at all, and fish those as droppers or in the film, especially when fish are feeding closer to the surface.

We welcome guest tier Rich Ferrara to tie one of his most succesful jig nymphs, the Open Wound. Rich is an excellent tier, with patterns being featured in George Daniel's newest book, "Nymph Fishing."
