I'm coming to South

I'm coming to South Africa to fish for Yellows in April. I found this article to be very informative in preparing for my journey.

Just go to any fibreglass trade shop and ask for a colour, there is about 50 or so different colours.
Sometimes even the colour pastes for polyester...fibreglass work beautifully.

This is really helpf

This is really helpful. I am a returning SH fisherman who has formerly only used single handed SH lines. Now I am looking to increase my distace by speycasting sh lines and am putting together a few outfits made from old DT lines and airflo running line (looped already) and some floating hollow nylon running lines. Is the nail knot the best option for permenant connections (covered with varnish or aquasure)? I suspect my hollow running line will slip unless I heat the end to make a bump or roughen it slightly to create some friction- not too keen on this one! Any advice welcome.
Yours,
David

Good evening Pete,

Good evening Pete,
I don't know how to express myself enough,
Your Double Tube idea is perfect........ I think describes it best.
Of all the items on this site, to me this is it !
Your double tube has changed my ideas and thinking for both the salt and the freshwater for ever.

So simple, its been there all the time, but I never saw it.
And as a bonus the fly will ride vertical always.

Many thanks again for changing my fly World.
Kind regards,

Czech nymphing

And you can also come to Czech republic to practise the technique witl local flyfishers. Without guide with good relationships with local authorities, you are totally lost because it is very difficult to obtain fishing permit and fishing license. If you are interested, see following link:
http://www.czechfly.cz/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=16&Ite…

I have been fishing in Denamrk 5times and it is huge difference and I really like it. We should take your country as an example.

Hello Harold,

I see that you are interested in the highly effective technique Czech Nymphing. What I also see that more and more fishers become increasingly positive about this technique.
A lot of fishers viewed negative about Czech Nymphing,because they say it was a stupid way of fishing with a long rod and three very heavy nymphs and a leader with the length of the rod: 9 foot. Casting with this combination was not possible. Therefore Czech Nymphing was also called with ugly names like "bugging".

When Czech Nymphing was promoted more than a decade ago by the highly respected Oliver Edwards, fishers were amazed by the results and of the effectiveness. But the Czech Nymphing technique is constantly improved by flyfishers from all over the world but especially of course the Czech and Polish competitors.

Nowadays Czech Nymphing has been developed into a light and more effective way of fishing. In my opinion is this light way of nymphing also as amazing as the classic Czech Nymphing was when it was introduced by Oliver Edwards.
How this light Czech Nymphing works is to be seen on the website www.czechnymphing.com
There you see the most important promotor of this technique the "River God", mr. Jiri Klima. It is a demo of the DVD that shows how Jiri fishes with a #2 line and rod (!) of 8'3" foot, two weighted nymphs and a very short leader of 5 foot. Within 10 minutes Jiri catches 10 fish.
Special on this light way of Czech Nymphing, is that Jiri is able to change immediately from short line nymphing (Czech Nymphing) into long line nymphing by only a few false casts. Now Czech Nymphing is more effective than it was in the classic way. And it has become a light and delicate technique of flyfishing.

On this unique DVD, Jiri also gives a tying instruction of his four favourite nymphs, including the Czech Nymph (see how Jiri makes his dubbing by spinning with his fingers!) and the devastating Jig-nymph.

At this moment it is the only DVD about this new way of Czech Nymphing.

Hopefully I gave you and other fellow GFF members new information about the development of the Czech Nymphing technique.

Re: Czech Nymph books, where to buy them?

[quote:bb96a8947e="Harold Ray"]In your opinion, what are the best Czech Nymph books or CDs/DVDs, and where can they be ordered? I have really gotten interested in tying these and would like to add some good books and DVDs about tying and fishing these flies, but I am having difficulty finding good ones.

There are several printed in Europe or the Czech Republic in English that I cannot find on any website. Does anyone have a good source of these?

I did just order this book, Czech Nymph and Other Related Fly Fishing Methods, from Czech Nymph, an online store, [url]http://www.czechnymph.com/en/index.php?&show_page=eshop&show_page_mode=…] in the Republic, and I also got some materials from Siman, Ltd., [url]http://shop.siman.cz/[/url], yesterday, both nice sites. I'd like to get other books by Karel Krivanec in addition to the one above, and books of other Czech authors writing about Czech Nymphs.

I would appreciate your help!

Thanks,

Baby oil also good.

I read this review a

I read this review and ordered the book. I tied all 10 flies without a hastle. Too many fly patterns are intimidating to the novice. This is a great book for the beginner!

Nice pix Hans. I love the markings on that first Sea Trout, so unusual, never seen anything quite like it.

On my immediate wish list is Arctic Char and Wild Rainbows then when I have enough money, amago and yamame.

I almost always get fish on these flies, regardless of where I fish.

Just like in brewing

Just like in brewing beer, leader tyers should stand by the motto of "relax, take it easy, have a beer!" The leader formulas are to be used as guidelines in building your own. Don't worry if the formula suggests one diameter or two that you don't have. Just substitute with the next closest diameter material and you should see no dramatic effects on the leader performance.

Martin,

Chris,

I had the same issue when I looked. I now fixed a few character set glitches, and it seems to work in the store AND the subscription section.

Let me know whether it's OK in your end too,

Casting

Another one..

Casting..

We tried also two times... First time we did some good, but my body with camera is not flyfisher or fisherman, so he knew how, but he didnt know what... Second time was much more better, but it wants red line(in our case)...I choose few good...

My favourite fly

For saltwater fishing I would choose orange streamer made from polar fox, orange spectra dubbing and orange cock.

For stillwater fishing montana lure is my first choice.

For river fishing it should be small CDC sedge tied on hook # 14 or 16.

On fly

Kasper,

If I had one only for all the fishing I'm likely to bump into it would be a gold beaded hare's ear nymph. That will catch almost anything that swims.

For stream fishing I would choose a similar nymph or a CDC&Elk dry fly.

For saltwater I would choose something like a Grey Frede. That would catch everything from trout to bonefish.
