Is anyone else using the euro techniques to warm water fish? I love trout fishing but the closest ones live 5.5 hours from me. I only get to fish up there once or twice a year.

I've been practicing euro style nymphing in our local tail races on the likes of stripes, white bass, crappie, catfish, sunfish, drum and others. Instead of nymphs I normally use marabou jigs as streamers. The jigs are fast and easy to tie so I have no fear of the rocks and wood I normally fish.

I can't wait for the fall and winter rains to start. In one of our tail races, the rains will flood into the willows. A giant edie forms in the channels of the trees and crappie, cats and stripe hold in there. The sighter is going to be deadly on the soft biting winter crappie.
