Fish and Film: Home Waters -- Terrestrial Dry Flies and Terrestrial Nymphs - Wild Trout in the Woods

Fishing is a story . . . On a summer morning of fishing, I fish terrestrials in two different ways -- first as a dry fly and then as a nymph.

The concepts of terrestrial fishing are largely centered around the dry fly. And I show that in the first half of this video. Target the edges and fish some of the middle stuff along the way. But the terrestrial fishing mindset -- the concepts and strategies -- are effectively taken over to a nymphing rig as well, often producing more and larger trout.

With either fly style, good terrestrial fishing requires very accurate casting. In this film, I demonstrate the lagging curve cast and the corkscrew cast with dry flies. And I show how good casting form is just as important with a nymph, where landing a fly inches from the bank is best done with full turnover, a good tuck cast and a leader that is purpose built for this kind of accuracy.
