Tactical Nymphing Clinic: 4 Hours/Morning Half-Day
June 3rd, 2023
Tactical Nymphing is a philosophy, or way of thinking, about your fly fishing. Based off the most effective tight line & suspension fly fishing methods through history, Tactical Nymphing combines five discrete fish-catching tactics to create personalized on-water strategies that maximizes the angler’s probability of tricking fish. These techniques can be equally effective for both fixed line and fly rod and reel anglers. The result is an adaptive angler who knows more, catches more, and has more fun doing it!
Enrollment: $100
(Includes instruction and water/beverages. Coolers provided for your BYO lunch & snacks).
Class sizes are limited. Registration is now available!
