At Mavrk, we believe that lighter is better when it comes to tightline nymphing for trout. Our lightweight rods and reels help suspend the line off the water for the best possible dead-drift. Also, reducing the reel's weight and inertia will make any rod more sensitive, cast better, and recover faster. Euro nymphing just got a lot better.

A pro level nymph rod doesn’t have to be pricey. It does have to be light, durable, sensitive, and of course powerful. They are half the price of premium rods sold in fly shops because we only sell direct to anglers.

The Stinger is the ultimate
nymphing tool for most of the waters I guide. It’s lightweight, compact and deadly accurate. It also helps people learn how to apply proper pressure when fighting a fish.

The Mavrk USA’s Stinger has a definite place in my euro-nymphing. I’m a fly fishing guide in Colorado and when the trout are not looking up for dries euro-nymphing is my preferred fishing method. The Stinger manual reel is a great way to keep the weight of your system light so your arm is able to last longer. You can also carry two Stingers, one with a euro setup and one with a weight forward line to fish the hatch. Get one, or two and learn to use them.

My shoulder problem was getting worse from euro-nymphing with my heavy reel. The Stinger allows me to euro-nymph much better than before with longer and better dead-drifts. Lightweight is the way to go for the best euro-nymph and high stick techniques.

“Well, my dad is a better angler than your dad so the Stinger must be good. It’s all he ever uses now. He also uses it when backpacking. 5 paws up!”

There’s no question that fishing a run behind other anglers in a stream will lower your chances of catching trout.
But when fishing with a buddy or two, someone is always left with mucked up water. I usually don’t mind being that person because I enjoy watching my friends catch fish. I also view it as just an extra challenge to overcome.
So, you think you have the basic techniques down, and you’re catching a lot of trout using Tight Line techniques. But your fish all seem to be on the small side. You know there are much larger fish in this river, but they don’t seem interested. Why is it that beginners usually catch small fish? Well, unfortunately, it’s not just a matter time before you consistently hook into big trout. You must step up your game. Think and fish differently.
Understanding these 9 Tips will help you advance to the next level and catch larger trout:
