Euro nymphing is a specialized form of fly fishing that has become increasingly popular in recent years. It is a method of fishing nymphs for trout that was born from competitive fly fishing tournaments. Euro nymphing uses heavily weighted flies and light tippet to quickly sink flies, and a "sighter" (multi-colored section of monofilament) is used instead of an indicator (bobber) . The principle difference between euro nymphing and traditional nymphing is that the angler maintains a tight connection between the flies and the rod tip throughout the drift, which eliminates slack in the system and allows the angler to detect even the subtlest of strikes and quickly set the hook.

Euro nymphing is also known as Czech, French, Tight-line, High Sticking, and Polish Nymphing. It uses a single line, with a heavy weighted nymph at the end of the tippet, and a sighter line between the main line and tippet. There is no shot for weight or floating bobber indicator, and the sightline helps an angler detect a strike on a tight line. Euro nymphing is used in many different aspects of fly fishing, such as competitive fishing and regular day-to-day activities.

To get started with euro nymphing, an angler needs a few essential items, including a euro leader and euro nymphing flies. Any fly rod over about nine feet in length can be used for euro nymphing, but a 9-11 foot, 3 or 4 weight rod is recommended. When euro nymphing, there are a few key things an angler wants to achieve, including a tight connection at all times between the line, leader, and fly, a dead drift that still eliminates slack in the entire length of the system, and total control over the speed and depth the fly drifts. Unlike regular indicator nymphing, euro nymphing requires an angler to move around constantly to reposition themselves.

In summary, euro nymphing is a specialized form of fly fishing that uses heavily weighted flies, light tippet, and a sighter instead of an indicator to quickly sink flies and maintain a tight connection between the flies and the rod tip throughout the drift. It is used in many different aspects of fly fishing and requires an angler to move around constantly to reposition themselves.
