This method of fly fishing removes indicators and largely reduces the use of fly line to provide the angler with direct contact and a drag free drift. It's a great technique for fishing faster waters and exploring new rivers in a fast and efficient manner.

Euro nymphing rods are typically light weight rods, commonly a 3 or 4 weight. Euro rods are also typically longer than the average rod, generally from 10' to 11' in length. It's combination of light weight and longer length provides excellent strike detection and control for technical nymphing applications.

Much like Rio's "Technical Nymphing Fly Line" Euro Reels are often weighted from 2 to 5 weight. Euro Nymphing fly line is generally very thin in diameter and not used for casting fly's in the way that traditional fly line is.

Euro Reels often come with removable weights to help balance the rod.

You'll notice there are no indicators listed in our collection above. That's because Euro Nymphing relies on feeling a strike instead of using an indicator to detect a strike. Euro leaders are constructed with the use of amnesia, tippet rings and sighter line. Most anglers use a Euro style fly line, such as Rio's Technical Nymphing line, while some anglers will omit the use of fly line all together by spooling their reel with monofilament fishing line in place of fly line.
