Hello all:
The Jack Dennis/Jeff Currier presentation on January 26th inspired
many of us at the shop to try the Polish nymphing technique. Although
it requires practice and refinement and we did not "hoover"
the river like the pioneers of this technique can do, it does work!
(See photos to the left from our first practice session at North
Fork Ranch on Tuesday).
For some notes and photos from the presentation, check out the
story below. I expect this technique to slowly become more popular
over time. Like any new idea, it has encountered resistance, but
its foundation of getting the nymphs deeper in the water is solid.
Once you've tried it, I think you'll see that it's worth more exploration.
Tight lines,
Bill

of the Month: Deer Hair Emerger: The DHE is a terrific pattern for picky
trout. It sits in the surface film with the body hanging below the wing
-- just like a sitting duck.

TIPS AND TECHNIQUES
|
| • Get Close
and Cast Short: Laying out a lot of line can be fun but it generally
doesn't produce fish. |

|
• Notes
on European Nymphing: On January 25 quite a number of anglers listened
to Jack Dennis and Jeff Currier talk and show videos on the subject of European
Nymphing. This was the first such presentation in Colorado and it was really
worthwhile. Here are a few notes that I jotted down. If they are unintelligible
accept my apology - Paul Prentiss.
Charlie Meyers wrote an article called "Nymphing fever: Catch it"
on January 30, 2005 which is worth a read....click
