the clinic

The clinic will be broken into two parts (indoor and on the water). The in-door component will include a brief classroom session where George will discuss fly patterns, rigging, basic Euro nymphing casting approaches, essential presentation skills, and possible solutions to a variety of Euro nymphing scenarios. The on-the-water component will focus on putting the information to the test and honing your new skills on local waters. George will demonstrate casting and euro presentation fundamentals and then will spend the remainder of time working with students one on one. Time will be allotted to address any questions after the clinic.

Euro Nymphing

Focus

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