Euro Nymphing & Competitive Favorites: Secrets to Success on the Water,
with Tim Cammisa

 

After interviewing today’s top anglers for his newest book, Tying Euro Nymphs and Other Competition Favorites (released January 2025), Tim developed key takeaways from his interviews that can be applied to your fishing to catch more fish. This includes the top, flies competitive fly fishers are using now, hook selection, leaders, and more. Not only does this give you current information, but time is spent to understand the reasoning behind why these techniques work. You’ll leave this presentation wanting these flies in your box, especially when you know these top patterns will catch you more fish today!

Tim is the force behind "Trout and Feather" and has dedicated over a decade to producing educational fly-tying and fly-fishing videos, enriching enthusiasts worldwide. With a background as a seasoned fly-fishing guide and teacher, Tim is a sought-after presenter and tier at prestigious events like The Fly Fishing Show and International Fly Tying Symposium, as well as club gatherings nationwide.

His passion for angling transcends borders, leading fly fishing trips to coveted destinations like Iceland and Alaska. Tim’s first book, Fly Tying for Everyone, covers a wide range of topics essential for mastering the art of fly tying, including materials, tools, techniques, and patterns. Tim’s second book, Tying Euro Nymphs and Other Competition Favorites, is due out January 2025, a pioneering project that focuses on the most popular patterns in Euro nymphing. Tim resides in Harmony, Pennsylvania, with his wife, Heather, and their children, Angelo and Fina.
