The Fly Fishing Bible of Nymphing: How to Gain a Positively Unfair Advantage on the River – Even if You’re Unsure what the MANY Variations of “Euro Nymphing” Actually Involve…

The aim of this book is to arm you with the most complete range of tactics possible and give you the confidence to tackle new waters and different conditions. It does this by clearly explaining WHY to choose - as well as HOW to use - each rig & technique.

The methods include:

  • Czech nymphing (both the little-known LONG-range, Fly-line, variant & the famous SHORT-line tactics)
  • Polish nymphing
  • Ladder Leader Nymphing (so you can quickly alter the spacing between your droppers, which means you’re more likely to actually benefit from those “fine-tuning” tweaks)
  • Classic French Nymphing
  • The family of modern “Nymphe au Fil”, Pêche a la Sempé and Spanish Nymphing
  • French Leader with Dry Fly
  • French Leader with Streamer
  • Duo and Trio (Euro-style Hopper/Dropper with “everything off the water” up to the dry)
  • Slovakian nymphing

…and even a little “suspension” nymphing so that the typical “Tight-line Euro tactics” don’t have it all their own way

All this is underpinned by the understanding of a freshwater biologist (and nymph fishing addict) which reveals important secrets of predators and prey behaviour in our rivers – and how to hotwire that system with our artificial flies.

Stories from around the world bring the tactics to life – as well as making the take-home messages much more memorable (so you’ll actually use them in your own fishing).

What else is included?

As well as the tactical breakdowns you'll get additional unique insights including:


  • Full color photos of actual flies gifted during major international competition events which let you peek inside boxes of multiple World Championship competitors (including captains and coaches)
  • Multiple Detailed Spotlight Features on: Sighters/indicators ★ Reading the Water ★ Stealth ★ Casting ★ Feeding Biology of Fish ★ Trade Secret Leader Recipes and Chemical Treatments★ A Simplified Set of Fly Patterns ★ Magic Bullet Method (Selecting Rigs, Flies & Fishing Locations)
  • An over-arching strategy that stitches all the individual tactics together so that you actually know what to do (and when to do it) when you find yourself on-stream

Why is the book structured the way it is?

Carefully layering the information means that there are “quick win” tips you can use right away – while bigger ideas build up and become absorbed naturally over the course of the book.

I believe this gives you the best chance of greatly improving your ability to catch fish, to adapt to situations – and perhaps “re-boot” your love of fly fishing in the process!

Who should NOT buy this book?

This is a practical, paperback manual - not an ornament. DON'T buy this book if:

  • Informal, conversational language (rather than only formal scientific language) offends or distracts you
  • A sans-Serif font drives you mad
  • You only accept traditional fly line only methods of fishing (there are detailed tips on this included - but lots of other leader-based methods too)

To get a sense of whether the design and/or diagram style will also put you off, the thumbnail of the video above shows the front cover and also a typical interior page (with more book-interior examples near the beginning of the video)

What our customers are saying:

Trout caught on a Rice grain style French nymph

"takes the subject matter to another level..."

I have a significant library of fly fishing books. After getting this book 2 weeks ago I have now read it completely three times, taking time to contemplate many sentences and paragraphs over and over. The depth of detailed analysis coupled with the incredible clear organization and presentation of the history and subject matter are beyond exceptional. I predict this book will be long remembered as the definitive source of knowledge and the tool by which so many of us elevated our performance. It surpasses the efforts of George Daniels and Joe Humphreys (both of whom I revere) and takes the subject matter to another level.


Yes, Paul stands on the shoulders of giants, but with this publication it is clear who is the "GOAT" to this point in time

MICHAEL EDWARDS  //  Jackson, Wyoming

Trout caught on a hot spot nymph and french leader

I honestly think it is a masterpiece...

After searching out and interrogating as much available material l can find, from the United Kingdom, the USA, and its various European homes, l honestly think there are lessons of value for anglers interested in nymphing, however competent, contained in this work.


The book is full of original thought and methodology.  As l say it has given me cause to totally rethink my approach.   I honestly think it is a masterpiece, that will indeed become my bible.
