Contact Nymphing

Advances in competition nymphing techniques give us new tools to effectively fish when there is no activity on the surface. But it has not always been easy to see how to apply these innovations in the real world - until now.Contact Nymphing is the latest evolution of euro nymphing and tight line nymphing. To use this technique, you don’t need any specific fly line or rod, as it is in the rig where the great innovation is. It has technical advantages permitting the execution of drag-free drifts with ultrasensitive strike detection. You can successfully fish the complicated currents and water types you used to overlook. It allows the fishing depth to be changed through presentation adjustments, permitting a dynamic nymphing approach. The book breaks down the learning process into a step-by-step approach. It explains the technique in an easy-to-understand manner with the use of many illustrations. It presents innovative technical information and advanced techniques that will make a difference in your nymphing skills.You will learn:·        Dynamics of dead drifts and drag forces·        How to employ the right tension by reading the sighter·        Fishing at different depths without modifying the rig·        How to fish riffles, runs, pockets, pools, slow runs, flats, and tail-outs·        How to manage the 3D entry angles for drift control·        The 7 tools for drift and depth control to face any water type·        Presentation corrections to modify sink rate and control surface tension·        Induced-lift presentation to incite takes·        Techniques for combining the contact rig with indicators, dry-droppers, and streamersAbout the author: David Martin is fortunate to have been taught in this technique by several nymphing masters since then he has extensively used this technique in several countries proving its effectiveness. He has merged his passion for fishing and sharing knowledge into this comprehensive guide.
