Although it was more than 30 years ago but I remember quite well the time when my friends and I started fly fishing. From this day forth we fell in love with the picture of the enrolling line in the air which carried our flies to the target. No long rod, no heavy tackle, just an artificial fly casted with a long elastic weight called a fly line. It was a great feeling! Something totally new. We loved it and still do.

The beauty of the enroling line is what makes fly fishing special and what makes the big difference to spinn or match fishing where you just cast a weight without doing any false casts. We fished with dry flies first as dry fly fishing was for us the most spectacular method. In the end of the seventies when we tried to start using underwater patterns - aka nymphs. We fished the Bregenzer and Dornbirner Ache at that time, two of the larger rivers in Vorarlberg, the province in the western part of Austria.

AS winter takes hold, the state of our rivers will drastically change. Be it raging floods, freezing temperatures or a combination of both, these extremes send grayling to more comfortable parts of a river, usually close to the streambed in deeper runs and pools. Given this, to stay in touch with them, nymph tactics will be at the forefront.

On occasions a flurry of olives or midges will bring fish to the surface, even on the coldest of days. But, generally, bugs and nymphs like caseless caddis, cased caddis, shrimps and stonefty nymphs provide grayling with winter sustenance.

Robbie Winramgets tying with the latest dubbing blends from the Czech experts...

THE Czechs are masters of nymph fishing tactics, and as you would expect this expertise rolls over into their fly-tying as well. After all, what's the good of perfecting the technique if the flies don't match up to the job.
