Service Description
The 2-Day Nymphing Clinic is an excellent way for intermediate to advanced anglers to improve their skills and deepen their understanding of one of the most effective fly fishing techniques. The clinic will focus on both the technical aspects of nymph fishing and the hands-on application of those skills in various water conditions. By the end of the clinic, participants should be comfortable with advanced nymphing techniques like Euro-nymphing, tight-line nymphing, and indicator fishing, and be able to confidently apply them on the water. Day 1: Introduction to Nymphing & Intermediate Nymphing Techniques & On-the-Water Application 8am to 4pm Objective: Provide an in-depth understanding of nymphing techniques, focusing on gear, rigs, and strategies for presenting nymphs in different water conditions. Day 2: Advanced Nymphing Techniques & On-the-Water Application 8am to 4pm Objective: Focus on advanced techniques like Euro-nymphing, sighter rigs, deep-water nymphing, and applying everything learned in real-world conditions. ***REVIEW*** "I signed up for the two day clinic and it was worth it. Guy started by going over the basics including key knots to set up our nymph leaders then building them for ourselves and before lunch we were out testing them out. After lunch more knowledge shared and more fishing. The class was small, five of us, and I felt he spent time with each us zeroing in on what each of us needed both in the water and out. We all walked away with a booklet he provided with key info including the knots, leaders, entomology of the area, and more. We also were provided the leaders and some other goodies and most importantly for me, a MUCH better understanding of nymph casting techniques, the skills to identify the right fly and an added bonus some great placed to fish on the Kern. Last but surely not least, Guy is really personable. He is easy to get along with, has a great sense of humor and most importantly adept at communicating what he knows. I walked away with a full tool kit of skills and am now considering his surf clinic. I live not far from the beach and had never considered saltwater fly fishing, but I am now." - Chris C, Verified Yelp Review
