Reply To: Czech Nymphs

I see my name brought up on the forum!!! Czech nymphing flies as Bill wrote, resemble larval or nymph stages of invertebrates. I’ve seen and tied patterns with tungsten beads and lead wraps: the idea is to get the fly down in swift water quickly. I’ve had luck hanging a soft hackle as a dropper. A mop fly (sorry, Kenny) tied on a jig hook is a good point fly. Euro nymphing in shallow water (French nymphing) doesn’t require weighted flies
