I suppose it’s the competitive element in me that is always on the look-out for something different that is still within the tradition of fly-fishing yet will give me an edge. And, if it works, I like to pass it on. There are no secrets with me.
We often see various types of "floating" indicators the likes of wool, etc. used for visual takes when the trout or grayling accepts your Nymph on the river; here is another which is easily seen and not prone to be missed when fishing turbulent water.

The efficiency of Czech nymphing could be said to lay in the ability of the fisherman to select the right part of a river, set up correctly his rod and leader, lead the correct flies, at the correct depth over the fish lies. It is also very important that the fisherman behaves quietly at all times. These all have a direct bearing on the number of fish to be caught.
I have used the Czech nymphing on a wide range of waters, from Wild mountain streams, to the calmer parts of the bigger rivers. I consider the faster flowing rivers from 10m to 20m wide and quite indented with natural banks (not the modified or man made banks) to be the ideal waters. I have fished these with both DT and WF lines of the AFTMA classes 4-5 and with the rod of the same category, with a length from 275-290 cm. In the majority of cases I fish with three weighted nymphs. Only where there are big water turbulence, caused by the river bed structure, I will weight down the middle fly or the end fly more in order to improve its exact operation and presentation.
