Book Description
Advances in competition nymphing techniques give us new tools to effectively fish when there is no activity on the surface. But it has not always been easy to see how to apply these innovations in the real world - until now. Contact Nymphing is the latest evolution of euro nymphing and tight line nymphing. To use this technique, you don't need any specific fly line or rod, as it is in the rig where the great innovation is. It has technical advantages permitting the execution of drag-free drifts with ultrasensitive strike detection. You can successfully fish the complicated currents and water types you used to overlook. It allows the fishing depth to be changed through presentation adjustments, permitting a dynamic nymphing approach. The book breaks down the learning process into a step-by-step approach. It explains the technique in an easy-to-understand manner with the use of many illustrations. It presents innovative technical information and advanced techniques that will make a difference in your nymphing skills. You will learn: - Dynamics of dead drifts and drag forces - How to employ the right tension by reading the sighter - Fishing at different depths without modifying the rig - How to fish riffles, runs, pockets, pools, slow runs, flats, and tail-outs - How to manage the 3D entry angles for drift control - The 7 tools for drift and depth control to face any water type - Presentation corrections to modify sink rate and control surface tension - Induced-lift presentation to incite takes - Techniques for combining the contact rig with indicators, dry-droppers, and streamers About the author: David Martin is fortunate to have been taught in this technique by several nymphing masters since then he has extensively used this technique in several countries proving its effectiveness. He has merged his passion for fishing and sharing knowledge into this comprehensive guide.

The Fly Fishing Bible of Nymphing
Author: Paul Gaskell
Publisher: Independently Published
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 172
Book Description
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 nymphing Ladder 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 Nymphing The family of modern "Nymphe au Fil", Pêche a la Sempé and Spanish Nymphing French Leader with Dry Fly French Leader with Streamer Duo 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! Who SHOULDN'T buy this? This is a practical, paperback manual - not an ornament. Don't buy this book if informal, conversational language or Sans Serif font aren't your things. You can check out the design/layout in Amazon's "Look Inside" preview feature before you purchase.
