An individual chapter from the Far Bank Fly Fishing School episode “How To Fish Nymphs”. This particular chapter offers an introduction to “Euro Nymphing”.
What is “Euro Nymphing”? It’s Centre-pinning, not fly fishing, and should be classified as such … just because you fish a fly at the end of your gear rig doesn’t mean you are fly fishing. I can run flies behind flashers off downriggers and it isn’t fly fishing any more than centre-pinning is. Centre-pinning is fun and effective, though, and of course gear suppliers have no incentive to call it whatnot is because they can charge more for a “Euro nymph” rod than a “micro centre-pin” rod, lol! We anglers are schmucks!
