SUMMARY:George Daniel Contact Nymphing Virtual Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Over the past five to ten years\, contact or Euro-style nymphing has made a lot of noise in the world of fly fishing and for good reason: it is VERY effective. However\, it can be as confounding and confusing as it is effective because it requires a host of new techniques and alternative rig set-ups to the indicator nymphing or dry fly fishing many of us are more familiar with. \n\n\n\nThe Deerfield Fly Shop is very proud to present a virtual workshop from perhaps the most preeminent educator in the sport\, George Daniel\, to help guide you through the ins and outs of contact nymphing\, from rods\, reels and lines to leader set ups and fly patterns to the techniques you will want to try on the water. See the full outline below for more details about the workshop. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis Zoom-based class will run on Thursday March 24 at 7 pm. The presentation itself will last 90 minutes and George will field all your questions afterwards. Cost is $50. Email brian@deerifeldflsyshop.com or call 413-397-3665 to register. Class space is limited. \n\n\n\nGeorge Daniel is the lead instructor at the legendary Penn State University fly fishing program started by George Harvey and run by Joe Humphries for many years. He is a two-time US National Fly Fishing Champion and member of several US teams to compete at the World Championships. He has coached both the men’s and youth national teams. You may recognize him from the cover of the recent Fly Fisherman magazine where\, in addition to other publications\, he has written numerous articles and he is also the author of three books\, including two focused on nymphing. A highly sought after guide and instructor—he is booked solid through 2023—we are lucky to have George teaching a class for us here at the Deerfield Fly Shop. \n\n\n\nGeorge Daniel Contact (aka Euro) Nymphing Workshop \n\n\n\nEssential Tools \n\n\n\n\nTraditional Rods versus European Style Nymphing Rods\nLine Options (traditional taper\, euro line\, mono rigs)\nSighter/Indicator\nLeaders (tapered versus level)\nPatterns\n\nPatterns Suggestive versus Imitative\n\n\nTop Euro Nymphs\n\n\nUn-weighted with shot\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContact Nymphing Concepts \n\n\n\n\nWhat contact nymphing is and what contact nymphing isn’t.\nIdeal tightline conditions versus non-ideal\n\n\n\n\nEssential Rigging \n\n\n\n\nDiscussion of Leader Design (universal versus condition specific)\nSingle Fly vs. multiple flies\nWeight Placement (heaviest fly placement\, split shot\, putty)\n\n\n\n\nThree Presentation Types (Where/When) \n\n\n\n\nDrifting:\nDredging\nSwinging\n\n\n\n\nFour Principals of Casting and Presenting Nymphs \n\n\n\n\nSquare\nFlip/Cast\nLead/Swing Out Flies (180* to target)\nSquare to Target and Repeat\n\n\n\n\nReading The Drift (Too Much Slack\, Too Much Drag\, Natural Drift) \n\n\n\nConcept of Two Speeds \n\n\n\nSetting The Hook \n\n\n\nDeveloping Contact Approach for Various Water Types/Scenarios (targets\, rigging\, casting\, and presenting) \n\n\n\n\nRiffle\nRun\nPool\nPocket Water\nSkinny Flats
