Focus

Euro Nymphing (aka fishing without an indicator) is not difficult but it does require understanding a few simple principles including casting, fly placement, reading the drift, along with proper rigging for changing conditions. This class will focus on those basic principles along with essential tools and fly pattern selection.

The Class

The class will be broken into two parts (inside and outside). The inside component will include a brief classroom session where George will discuss patterns, rigging, basic euro nymphing casting approaches, essential presentation skills, and discussing possible solutions to a variety of euro nymphing scenarios. The outside component will be putting the information to the test on local waters. George will demonstrate casting and euro presentation fundamentals for first part of the outside component. George will spend the remainder of time working with students one on one. Time will be allotted to address any questions after the clinic.

What Students need to bring:

10-11’ 3wt or 4wt fly rod
Fly Patterns for local waters
