no substitute for being there!
i very much enjoyed this video as a compliment to Devin’s book and all the clips and shorts i was able to find on youtube and the TFF blog page. you can read a book 100 times and sometimes still not see things the way the author intended; also, if you are observant you can see tons of things off script: certain movements of the rod, unhooking and releasing fish, how the gents are geared up to solve various problems of efficiency and function etc. highly recommend!
Modern Nymphing Elevated: Beyond The Basics
I purchased the 1st DVD, Modern Nymphing: European Inspired Techniques, and was concerned I would be getting too much duplication. However, the first video was foundational covering most aspects of European nymphing on a get-in-the-water and get started fishing. This DVD provided more detail for correcting mistakes that will occur from casting, drifts, and setting the hook from strikes. Many of the mistakes made stem from the rigging differences between European nymphing rods and rigs verses conventional drifting with a weight forward line and indicator. This DVD expounds on why the European cast and drift are different and what to do about it. It also covered other details such as approaching the fish and body position in the stream. Devin will cover a topic, then Lance will cover the same topic—both adding similarities but differences, as each may have slightly different fishing methods. I am glad they continued this DVD with Keys to Success, text popups to reinforce what they are speaking and demonstrating. The photography is amazing and with each topic covered, demonstrations are fished on different types of water such as pockets, riffles, and pools.

Video: Modern Nymphing Elevated
As with the original video, and Devin's recent book, this is another valuable learning tool, not just for learning the application of Euro Nymphing, but to gain a better understanding of trout behavior. With each viewing, I feel better equipped to put fish into the net.

I Placed an order with Tactical Fly Fisher for this video (along with an assortment of Euro style nymphs and a Galvan GEN reel. Customer service was great and I received the orders in surprisingly quick time.
Modern Nymphing Elevated
Fantastic sequel to the original. Loads more helpful info. Buy it! And if you don’t have the first one, but that one as well.
A great sequel
One of the few times where the sequel is as good or better than the 1st. Combine this with the book, for what I believe is the best way to take your fishing to the next level.
Excellent Work
I own both videos (thru venmo) and they're well worth the investment. When you're nymphing there's lots of "little things' that you may not notice that you're doing wrong - until you change your habits and immediately start catching more fish.
Encouraging Clear Mystery Dispeller
My fears and trepidations were quieted by the DVDs and book. Practical and clear, extraordinarily helpful. I say that as a 76 year old geezer and life-long fisher, who has read, watched and been guided by the best (I’ve been very fortunate). As a fellow author, I found the writing style crisp and refreshing, no nonsense yet colorful, fun to read. The DVDs were exceptionally well done, standouts. I especially found the on-the-water scenes insightful, clarifying a lot of the mystery about Euro nymphing.

Another fantastic production. I have been on the water with Devin, have followed these three (Gilbert) for a few years, and their video is consistent with their teaching. Great teachers and phenomenal at what they do. You'll see it in the video. I own both and it is a great thing to hear the instruction over and over. They don't hold back or hide anything. Just awesome.
