Are there any lurkers from Poland or the Czech Republic? I'm interested in some ideas for nymphs (and a possible swap).
Thanks!

Chris,
You may want to check with James Matthews
(Rackelhannen Magazine) which is even more cutting edge when it comes to the Caddis Larva nymphs. There are quite a few tyers
from Poland & Slovokia that hang around Realistic Fly Tying Table Forum.
The Czech nymph was created at the 2004 World Fly Fishing Championships in Slovokia
& they certainly won it all with this pattern. I think you will like James Matthews Hydrosyche Larva & his idea of the Organza Gilling technique (Rackelhannen Magazine).
Chris... check out Flyfishingarkansas.com. John Wilson was in the Czech Republic and he talks about the technique quite a bit on that board.

hey john,
haven't czech nymphs been around longer than '04? seems to me they have. anyways, I've been tying some *****in' czech nymphs of late. as a matter of fact there are a slew of them on my bench right now.
I recently hosted a small czech nymph swap and the submissions were superb.

Thanks for the help. I'm actually trying to find people from the region to get some insight into NEWER patterns, etc. I've been tying Czechs for years now...actually have a few books from the Czech Republic, but am interested in seeing what has developed in the interim period. I will surely check out the sites mentioned.
Regards,
Chris
Don't forget that we offer the Czech Nymph hook which was designed specifically for that pattern. The Partridge ref #'s are CZ and SHR. Both are the same hook. We offer it as a Czech nymph hook and a Shrimp hook as it's great for both. The SHR packaging is more readily available.
CZ [url=http://www.partridge-of-redditch.co.uk/Hooks/catalogue2004/trout/page14.htm:a0ceb]http://www.partridge-of-redditch.co.uk/Hooks/catalogue2004/trout/page14.htm[/url:a0ceb]
SHR [url=http://www.partridge-of-redditch.co.uk/Hooks/catalogue2004/trout/page15.htm:a0ceb]http://www.partridge-of-redditch.co.uk/Hooks/catalogue2004/trout/page15.htm[/url:a0ceb]
Please nte that the SHR is sold in sizes 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 & 20.

Some do the Czech Nymph (can't get over the fact they are suppose to represent caddis pupa, which never become nymphs) with a Polish Weave (Al Campbell demonstrates this weave in the Advance Section of Fly Tying Series, as the Tiger Weave
[url=http://www.flyanglersonline.com/flytying/advanced/part1.html:6a959]Tiger Weave, click here[/url:6a959]. Others do a dubbed body with a latex wrap over the dubbing (some include a bright colored hot spot between the abdomen and the thorax).
The Czech Nymph is a slim fly, with a thin layer of weighted wire (that has been flatten to reduce its thickness on the fly). The weight wraps starts 1/3 from the back of the hook shank, going towards the eye, then a addition layer is applied on top halfway back (covering the thorax area of the hook shank)
Wonderful pattern to catch fish with, just wish the name of the fly could be changed to reflect the true nature of the caddis cycle.
There is a FOTW on the Czech Nymph, but it is titled "Caseless Caddis", really a good pattern to play with.

Need help on the dropper rigging for Czech nymphing. I read the articles in this post, but can't put it together in my head. Can someone help?
Thanks,

I know of two ways to attach multiple flies to a fishing line....
Some do a dropper rig, with one fly at the end of the tippet and two flies are attached on dropper loops, further up on the dropper rig (tippet).

Others just use a uniknot (or similar knot) to attach the fly to the curve of the previous fly on the tippet.
The choice of which way to go, is your decision. ~Parnelli
