In the past few years, Euro Nymphing has taken the industry by storm.
Here on the Nantahala, Euro nymphing has always been our fly fishing guides’ go-to cast because it is one of the most productive ways to fish in western North Carolina!
Why Euro Nymphing?
The use of indicator line rather than a bobber allows you to adjust your fly’s depth in real time, keeping it deep while avoiding snags. This means you can transition from fishing deep holes to shallow runs and pocket water without the need to adjust an indicator or re-rig. In addition, the precision and lack of a long back cast makes Euro Nymphing ideal for fishing along overhung banks and in close quarters.
