How to Gain a Positively Unfair Advantage on the River – Even if You’re Unsure what the MANY Variations of “Euro Nymphing” Actually Involve…
INCLUDING Over 2 hours of supporting video material (designed to be worth the price of the book on its own)

Hands up who knows what Euro nymphing is? It's incredibly popular and causes many online arguments - yet most anglers show CLEAR GAPS in their skills and knowledge.

So if you want to go beyond bobbers and split shot, you’ll need to dodge an overwhelming tide of BS online covering “Tight Line Nymphing” and European competition methods. While there are good books available, certain tactics are left out (keeping a number of methods known only to a handful of top anglers) and it is difficult to build a strategy for choosing and using each of the different rigs, methods and flies.

The aim of this book is to arm you with the most complete range of tactics possible and give you the confidence to tackle new waters and different conditions. It does this by clearly explaining WHY to choose - as well as HOW to use - each rig & technique.

The methods include:
Czech nymphing (both the little-known LONG-line variant & the famous SHORT-line tactics)Polish nymphingLadder Leader Nymphing (so you can quickly alter the spacing between your droppers, which means you’re more likely to actually benefit from those “fine-tuning” tweaks)Classic French NymphingThe family of modern “Nymphe au Fil”, Pêche a la Sempé and Spanish NymphingFrench Leader with Dry FlyFrench Leader with StreamerDuo and Trio (Euro-style Hopper/Dropper with “everything off the water” up to the dry)Slovakian nymphing
…and even a little “suspension” nymphing so that the typical “Tight-line Euro tactics” don’t have it all their own way

All this is underpinned by the understanding of a freshwater biologist (and nymph fishing addict) which reveals important secrets of predators and prey behaviour in our rivers – and how to hotwire that system with our artificial flies.

Stories from around the world bring the tactics to life – as well as making the take-home messages much more memorable (so you’ll actually use them in your own fishing)

PLUS:

Full color photos of actual flies gifted during major international competition events which let you peek inside boxes of multiple World Championship competitors (including captains and coaches)

Multiple Detailed Spotlight Features on: Sighters/indicators ★ Reading the Water ★ Stealth ★ Casting ★ Feeding Biology of Fish ★ Trade Secret Leader Recipes and Chemical Treatments★ A Simplified Set of Fly Patterns ★ Magic Bullet Method (Selecting Rigs, Flies & Fishing Locations)

Method in my Madness

Carefully layering the information means that there are “quick win” tips you can use right away – while bigger ideas build up and become absorbed naturally over the course of the book. I believe this gives you the best chance of greatly improving your ability to catch fish, to adapt to situations – and perhaps “re-boot” your love of fly fishing in the process!
