Rick Nyles
“For a guy like me who is/was convinced he knows everything about dry fly fishing Rick Nyles was a rude awakening! We had 18 guests to hear what I believe was one of the most enjoyable fish talks I’ve been to.
The way Rick presents invites a lively audience response. After 20+ years of guiding he peppers his presentation with colorful recollections of his client experiences. Best of all, (at least for me) was his penchant for fishing dry flies sub-surface. He shared several rigs that were completely unfamiliar – and intriguing.
This is the time of the year, as comfortable fishing days fade, that these presentations warm the cockles of fly fishers’ hearts”. Dame Juliana League

Rick out did them all with his presentation skills, explanations, quality of material and his simple approach to fly fishing and fly tying. Oh, he has some good jokes”.

Rick,
On behalf of the Dame Juliana League board and its members, thank you for the insightful presentation yesterday evening – I’m fairly confident that we all took away a few tips and tricks to improve our dry fly fishing (mine was shortening my leader substantially on the majority of trout water I fish).
It was as advertised, a great way to spend a cold February evening. In February, over 70 Chapter members were treated to an informative and entertaining presentation by Rick Nyles, owner and guide of Sky Blue Outfitters. Rick shared his experiences on some of his favorite streams including Penns Creek, Spring Creek, Big Fishing Creek and his home waters, the Manatawny and Tulpehocken Creeks. His blend of videos, photos and verbal explanations was highly effective as he demonstrated both fly tying and fishing techniques. In addition his sense of humor made his presentation of the facts fun to listen. I think it was safe to say that everyone left the meeting eager to get back out
on their favorite stream.

Dave,
Thank you for making the long commute and sharing your presentation with us. We had a great turnout and everyone really enjoyed your presentation. I could tell by the comments, enthusiasm, participation and number of questions asked during and at the end. If I am in the area of the Elite 8 streams mentioned I will definitely look you up and book a guide trip with you. Like most guys I am primarily a nymph fisherman… but I would like to further develop my skills and learn some wet fly techniques hands on.
Regards, Dan Weaver Bucks Co. Trout Unlimited
