Take a quick moment and think about what your top 5 euro nymphing flies are right now. If you could only have five flies to use on the water, what would they be?
Today's guest picked his top flies straight from some of the best fly anglers around the world. And now, he’s sharing the stories behind them, how to fish them, and a few tips to help you step up your game on the water this year.
Tim Camisa—fly fishing show celebrity, author, and all-around go-to guy—is back with his new book on Euro nymphing patterns. But it’s not just Euro nymphs. We’re getting into it all!
Have you ever tried fishing a super light nymph in the wind? Want to know the best pheasant tail material and what makes his selection stand out? Tim's got answers. We'll also hear about his top picks for pheasant tail material and breaking down five of the best flies in the game. Plus, discover why your dry fly should act like a soggy diaper.
Tim Cammisa's New Book
Tim Camisa has a new book about Euro nymph flies, and we’re diving into why he chose this topic. Euro nymphing started as a niche technique in the U.S., with little information available outside Europe.
That changed when anglers like George Daniel and Devin Olsen shared what they knew. Tim was drawn in, fishing with Josh Miller in Pennsylvania and quickly realizing how effective Euro nymphing could be. Even his wife didn’t believe his numbers at first!
Check out our episodes with Devin Olsen and Gilbert Rowley if you want to hear more about Euro nymphing.
Tim’s first book, Fly Tying for Everyone, was a hit, but finding another topic to write about wasn’t easy. His good friend Josh Miller was writing a book on nymphing techniques, and that’s when it clicked for Tim that no one had written a book just about the flies.
Tim Cammisa's Top 5 Euro Nymphing Flies
In his book, Tim included 15 main patterns with 15 variations. The flies are grouped into different types:
Perdigons
Nymphs
Junk flies
Streamers
Dry flies
