This class takes place on a piece of private property on the South Platte near Lake George where Arbor Anglers has exclusive access. This class is for people that have experience with euro-nymphing and want to dial in their game on some amazing water. Requirements: As an advanced class participants are expected to understand the basic theories of euro nymphing, as we will be using these theories as the foundation for the advanced class. Without understanding the basics, participants may find these advanced techniques frustrating. It is imperative that you are aware of your skill level and limitations so you can get the most out of this class. If you have any questions about if this class is the right fit for you, please reach out to James or Nico email: [email protected] phone: (720) 512-1416! We will also be offering on-the-water Introduction to Euro Nymphing classes. Equipment for this class is not provided, and the expectation is that you have the appropriate length rods (Euro specific 10ft or greater), leaders built, and euro style flies. If you would like to experiment with different brands of rods besides your current euro style rod we will have some available. Overview: The class will start off with a lecture going over advanced euro nymphing techniques, styles, and leader building, and then proceed to the water where the instruction will continue. Everything from different casting techniques, understanding how to fight fish with a euro setup, and how to fish different water types with your euro setup. The instruction will continue for approximately 2-3 hours, and then you will have access to the private water until 5pm. The water is full of rainbows, browns, and cutbows reaching the 28” size. Your new PB may be on this trip! To offer our students the best experience we are keeping the class to a maximum of 7 individuals, and two instructors!
