Tying Euro Nymphs and Other Competition Favorites by Tim Cammisa is a welcome addition to the now growing library on this somewhat new and exciting subject. A very well done piece of work!
Perhaps no other area in fly fishing has experienced as much sensation, and growth, as “Euro Nymphing.” This term, which is actually not the most accurate but has been the one that has stuck, describes a broad category of nymphing (fishing flies under the water as opposed to on top of the water) techniques from around the world—Czech, Polish, Spanish, French, as well as American—brought to the forefront by the rise of fly fishing competitions. This pioneering fly tying book focuses on teaching the most popular patterns in this category and includes approximately 15 flies with over 350 full-color tying steps.

Tim Cammisa's previous fly tying book Fly Tying For Everyone was a hit for a reason. Tying Euro Nymphs and Other Competition Favorites is sure to be a hit sequel as well. In it you will find incredibly effective patterns from many anglers on the cutting edge of our sport. Whether you are new to tying or a seasoned veteran, you will want to add the patterns found in this book to your fly box. Tim's work will help you enjoy learning to tie them and provide an entertaining history for how each pattern came to fruition.

Don't be confused by the title. The nymphs detailed here are not just for competition events and are deadly fished with any method like a dry dropper or indicator rig. And they're not all European, as many of them are from North American anglers. They're proven patterns for fishing anywhere in the world, with whatever method you wish. Tim has done a terrific service to the fishing and tying world with this book.
-- Tom Rosenbauer, host of The Orvis Fly-Fishing Guide podcast and The Orvis Guide to Fly Fishing television show
In his new book, Tim does the homework for you and presents proven patterns in a condensed form. Tying Euro Nymphs and Other Competition Favorites will walk you through the tying process of each pattern and reveal the concepts founding each fly.
