Classic Czech Nymph

No comments yet

The Czech nymph is a pattern and style of fishing that took the world by storm when it appeared on the scene following multiple international competition successes for the Czech team. Since then it's been somewhat surpassed in popularity by tungsten beaded nymphs, however it remains deadly for trout and grayling in rivers everywhere.

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
