Almost….Almost! I thought I’d try this Cortland DT 444 and Danielsson reel on the ESN 10ft 2 weight. I attached (loop to loop) my Euronymph rig to the end of the fly line. It’s detachable. 35ft 6lb Amnesia/ Rio indicator. If a hatch came on I could remove it, roll it up and stick it in a pouch, then use the ESN as a dry fly rod. So how did that go? The first thing you should know is the @danielssonflyreels Danielsson Nymph doesn’t marry with the ESN reel seat too well. What a disappointment. It does hold, but only just. I wouldn’t have complete confidence that during a day of normal fishing, it would work itself loose at some point and fall down onto the gravel. In terms of how the rod performed as a dry fly rod, it was surprisingly good. Naturally, a softer action than the Sage LL or R8. The blank flexing right through the middle section, but if you slow the cast down and adjust accordingly it performs well enough and I was still able to perform 50 or 60 feet casts into a headwind. So for close up, intricate presentation it was good. I suppose ultimately carrying two rods (dry and nymph) on a day is a bit of a pain, so it might be a solution. Now trying to figure out if I could put for for for for line onto the ESN reel. Has anyone loaded an ESN reel with a dry fly line/ nymph combo? Or if anyone has any thought please share. . . . . #dryflyfishing #euronymphing #euronymph #nymphfishing #danielssonflyreels #sageesn #sageflyfish #sageflyrods #albagamefishing (at North Berwick) https://www.instagram.com/p/Crh9FTbNapr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
