May Mtg: Pete Erickson on Eurpean Nymphing Techniques

Postby Jim T » May 24th, 2011, 9:54 am

The speaker at the Long Beach Casting Club this month is Pete Erickson who’ll be presenting European nymphing techniques. Pete is an accomplished fly fisherman having fished such places as Alaska, Mexico, Florida, British Columbia, The Bahamas, Sweden, Poland, Spain, Portugal, Slovakia, England, Scotland, the Olympic Peninsula and the entire Rocky Mountain region. He’s been a member of Team USA and the World Fly-Fishing Team several times, competed in numerous fly-fishing championships, including the US National and World events and is on the pro-staff of several major fly fishing companies.
Pete will be discussing:
• Where and how these techniques originated (Eastern Europe)
• What it’s like fly-fishing Eastern Europe
• Descriptions of the various techniques (Czech, Polish, French and Spanish)
• How to build leaders and indicators for these techniques
• Flies used for these techniques
• How to actually fish using these techniques

Meeting: Thursday, May 26th, 7:00 pm at the Long Beach Casting Club.

We haven't done any video in the past but I'll be looking into that soon. I don't think I'll be ready for this one.

Pete Erickson's flight has been delayed and he won't be able to make it in time to present tonight. He will be presenting tomorrow night (Friday) at 7pm instead.

We will have our usual meeting tonight and plan to show a European Nymphing DVD as a primer.

Pete put on a great presentation on Euro Nymphing. It is amazing how fast things are changing in the world of competitive fly-fishing. It all about being more effective when you are on the water. He also is a great guy and would be fun to fish with. If you get a chance he will be at Bob Marriotts today.
