Bill Carnazzo, a charter member of GBF, will present a new program called “Fishing Pocket Water—a guide to successful nymph fishing with a ‘short line.’” Bill will present the program in a Power Point format, with many pictures of techniques, bugs, flies, and—most importantly—fish taken using the very productive short line technique. The program will cover a variety of topics, beginning with rigging for pocket water, including proper rod and reel selection; lines; leaders; indicators; weight; and a bit about knots. Next, Bill will provide interesting pictures of seven different types of pocket water, and show how to recognize them. Bill will then cover the elements of the short line technique, using digital photographs to demonstrate proper angler position to the target; casting technique; fly drifting tactics; and proper method for striking. Then Bill will, with pictures, show the results of the short line technique—i.e., fish on! Bill will round out the program with a discussion—with pictures—of “bugs” that trout typically feed on, including the all-important October Caddis, and the flies that will catch those trout. This program will be a good follow up to the August program presented by Dave Shafer. Dave did a good job in discussing the floating indicator technique that he uses and teaches. The short line method is an alternative to the floating indicator technique, and will provide you with another “arrow” in your quiver to assist you in your quest for nymphing success.
