This is a very interesting DVD program teaching nymphing techniques for trout. The 2 hour program is broken into five logical sections so that the viewer can build a solid nymphing strategy. The first chapter teaches six different ways to present a nymphing fly and the classroom diagrams are extremely well thought out and presented. The second chapter details many options for indicator choice and placement, as well as types of weights and weight placement options. The third chapter discusses fly choice and how to position the fly or multiple flies as well as the knots used to create the nymphing set-up. The next chapter discusses how to present and fish the nymphing rigs with lots of great on-water demonstrations. The final chapter is directed to the reading of water and adapting the nymphing rig to the conditions you have in front of you on the stream. The mix of "classroom" instruction and on stream instruction provides an excellent tutorial for anyone wanting to learn to nymph or wanting to improve their nymphing technique and success. The overall production is very good. The sound is excellent and the lighting and camera work is very good. This DVD is certainly worth much more than the purchase price. One of the finest instructional programs on nymphing ever done. © 2007 Bruce E Harang
