GSF Hands-On Euro Nymphing Clinic
with Tournament Competitor Dave Smith
Thursday, Oct. 9, 6-8 pm at the Mission Bay Boat and Ski Club (our fly tying venue)
Free of Charge
Dave Smith is a GSF member who has gotten involved in
regional and national fly fishing competitions. He uses the czech nymphing technique
and other Euro nymphing methods as a crucial tool in his fly fishing
toolbox.
Dave has offered to share his expertise with GSFers in a hands-on
clinic. Does "hands-on" mean "on the water" - unfortunately, no, GSF
has not been able to move a convenient trout stream into
the vicinity (though a large one of those flowing lap
pools might be nice for fly casting practice if someone has one!).
But wait, you aren't going to be in competitions - why learn these
techniques? Think of it as one more tool in your fly fishing tool box - it will
make you a better, more well-rounded angler.
In this 2 hour session, Dave will present euro techniques and will show
us how to tie our own Euro leaders and Euro flies. Leader and
fly tying materials will be provided to the first dozen or so people who
sign up.
