Let's make this simple. Euro Style Nymphing (dead drifting nymphs without a float/indicator) is damn effective. So much so every competitive fisherman does it! The problem is getting started can be daunting. There is simply too much info out there. Hopefully this Podcast will help you make sense of some of this.
Rods Mentioned:
ECHO Shadow II Czech Nymphing Rod
Redington Hydrogen Rod (11' 3 Weight)

Today I sit riverside with Steve Joyce, one of the owners and founders of Red's, and we recap the "Red's Guide Shootout" or something like that. Not sure exactly what we were doing yesterday but our staff competed in 2 person teams in Sporting Clays, 1 Hour Competitive Fishing, Casting Competition, and a Top Chef Contest! In addition we'll give lots of tips for fringe season fishing. It was a ton of fun and great learning experience for all of us to be together talking shooting, casting, fishing, and shore lunch prep.
