Euro Nymph Gear
Euro Nymphing (Czech Nymph, French Nymph, Spanish Nymph..) techniques have become very popular in the U.S. The accessories you need to fish this style are below.
Euro Nymph Gear - Rio Tippet Rings
- Code: A-RTR
- Price: $9.99
- Quantity in Basket: none
Tippet Rings are small, very strong and lightweight, and make rigging and tippet replacement fast and easy. A leader with a tippet ring turns over perfectly, and they are light enough to use when fishing dry flies. Just tie the tippet ring to a leader with a clinch or improved clinch knot, and then add the required tippet in the same way. Tapered leaders last longer with a tippet ring as the leader will not be shortened every time the angler replaces the tippet.
Tippet rings also make it extremely easy to add droppers, and are an excellent choice for European Style Nymphing and for Indicator nymph fishing.
This package includes 10 Tippet Rings, threaded onto a snap swivel. It is easy to drop those rings once they are not threaded on the swivel, so thread the first ring onto your leader while the ring is on the swivel, tie a clinch or improved clinch knot, then remove the ring from the swivel. (This will save you from dropping and losing rings)
Available in 2 sizes:
- Trout 2mm 25 lb test
- Steelhead 3mm 45 lb test

Euro Nymph Gear - Skafars Neon Wax Sighter
- Code: A-NWS
- Price: $6.75
- Quantity in Basket: none
Neon Wax Sighter is a product developed out of necessity.
When euro nymphing, you usually try to keep full contact with your fly for as long as possible by keeping your rig tight. Neon wax can be used to mark your leader to assess how deep the fly is in the water column. By drifting the nymph at different marker depths, you can easily locate the depth of where fish are holding.
Multiple markings can be used on the leader to help assess whether to raise or lower the fly.
Additionally, use Neon Wax Sighter on tippet above a small or dark colored dry fly, which are normally easy to lose sight of.
Neon Wax Sighter will not permanantly stay on your leader. The most effective temperature range for adhesion is 50 - 85 Fahrenheit. Below this temperature, the wax is brittle. Above this temperature, it will begin to melt. (If you leave this in a hot vehicle, you can expect a mess when you return.)
Use Pink or Orange for bright sunlight, Lime or Green when the sky is overcast, and for heavily fished water, use white for dark colored river bottoms and black for light colored river bottoms.
Stains in clothing can be washed with detergent or soap. Easily removed from leader and tippet with a tissue paper.

Euro Nymph Gear - Rio Euro Nymph Shorty
- Code: A-RNS
- Price: $49.95
- Quantity in Basket: none
RIO’S EURO NYMPH SHORTY is an ultra-thin, super-sensitive fly line designed for Euro nymphing. The line is deliberately made short (20 feet) so it can be added to the front end of a regular fly line utilizing the thin welded loop on each end. The idea is that anglers can fish their normal fly fishing style with their regular trout line, and when they come to a run they want to fish Euro nymph style, they simply loop the Shorty on and start nymphing. Quick, easy and no need for an extra rod or reel.
