Czech Nymphing, Polish Nymphing, French and Spanish nymphing also reffered to as European Nymphing is a style of nymph fishing that is readily catching on here in the United States, especially in Colorado. It is a very effective technique that is perfectly suited for the many fast waters of our state. This style of short line nymph fishing often uses longer rods, no yarn or foam strike indicators and a level construction designed to get your heavily weighted flies, often three, down to the bottom quickly. All of the weight used in a Czech Nymph rig is added to the flies themselves not the leader. The flies are color coded in order to provide the angler a method in deciphering the proper weight for any given circumstance on the water.

The course is taught by Blue Quill Angler owner and Sage School Instructor Steve Parrott who has studied and practiced these techniques for over 12 years. Steve has also developed a series of Czech Leaders and Indicators that are becoming very popular within the Czech Nymphing community as well as produced an outstanding DVD titled Czech Nymphing 101 and Related European Methods that covers the Czech, Polish, French and Spanish Nymphing Methods with amazing detail.

The Czech Nymphing Masterclass is held on public waters of the South Platte, Blue or Clear Creek. The class consists of two sessions on the river. In the morning, we will cover the Czech Nymphing method. The afternoon will be spent learning the upstream French Nymphing method, incorporating the ''colied'' mono indicator and finishing up with a brief discussion on the long-line Spanish Nymphing method. For each method, you will learn breaking down the water, casting, incorporating sighters/indicators, approaching the stream and fly placement. In addition, we will cover strike detection, setting the hook and landing fish effectively and safely.

Sage ESN rods and Reels suitable for fishing the European Methods will be available for use in the class.

With the intricacies of learning the European Nymphing Methods, we are limiting the class to 2 students per class so the necessary attention to detail for each student can be maintained. The cost of the class for one or two students is $350.00. We feel with a 2 : 1 student to instructor ratio, the likelyhood of success goes way up. Pre-registration is required

Cost Includes:

• Use of a Sage ESN Rod and Sage Reel
• 12 European style flies we will use in the class
• 1 - Czech Nymphing Hi-Vis Butt Section - Orange
