    Czech or Polish Nymphing

    I copied this from part of another post I made under Fly Tying, as this seems like the spot I should have put it in the first place. I welcome any feedback, input or question you all have on this topic.

    Czech or Polish nymphing jumped into the limelight out of the competitive fly fishing scene, and now it's all the rage on the internet and in magazines. It basically entails fishing 2 or 3 weighted flies with no shot or indicator on a non-tapered leader (straight tippet) on an extremely short line, keeping your rod tip low and ahead of the flies. The drifts are short, about 5-6 feet long, and the rod almost pulls the flies as they drift downstream in a straight line tracking under your rod tip. As soon as they pass your position, a wrist roll lifts them near the surface and they are lobbed back upstream. Strike detection is both visual & tactile- a Rio Nymph line helps, or use a fluorescent braided loop on the end of your line. As you can imagine, some of the flies they tie are basically a weighted sinker to get the other flies down in faster, deeper flows. Sizes typically range from #6-16 (tied on a scud type hook, the Czechs have their own somewhat unique barbless design- Partridge actually manufactures 2 Czech nymph hooks, but you can use a standard scud hook just fine), with #10 or so the most common. The Poles weave their flies, and the Czechs use a shellback design with dubbing and ribbing- flies are tied slim and with a minimum of appendages, so as to sink quickly. Patterns usually imitate Caddis larva & Scuds (often both), and are tied in both drab, natural colors and bright attractor shcemes, often with a hot spot of bright red, orange or pink dubbing wound between the thorax and abdomen.

    The technique was originally created for Grayling, a fish that is common in Europe and tolerates a very close approach by the angler. Practiced with stealth in broken water, where it works best, it is also very effective on trout. Those who have watched competitions and seen it in action say it often outfishes the indicator and split shot rig most of us use by a wide margin. One fisherman will fish 200 yards of water and catch 5 trout, and then a Czech or Pole with come in after him and catch 30. Aaron is skeptical, bit it's definitely something I want to play around with. Europeans tend to use a 10' #4-5 rod for it, with tippet in the 4x-6x range. Poles use 2 nymphs, with the heavy one on the bottom and the lighter, smaller one up top. Czechs normally use 3, spaced 20" apart on droppers, with the heavy one in the middle to get the other 2 down. Leader length is usually the rod length or shorter, and you typically fish with only 1 to 3 feet of fly line beyond the rod tip. Rod tip stays low and ahead of the flies during the drift, leading them in a straight downstream path. High sticking puts a bow in the line that makes strike detection more difficult, so keep your rod relatively low and parallel with the surface. This method is most suited to shallow to medium water of a medium to fast flow- you have to be able to stand within a rod's length of the water you intend to fish.

    Remember that Europeans typically fish in streams that are fished hard with no C&R regulations, which means the left over fish are the ones that are hard to catch. I some cases, where a similar stream here might have 100 fish in a 200 yard stretch, they might only have 5. This has bred techniques that are both efficient & highly effective, so don't discount this method as just another form of short line nymphing and dismiss it before you try it. I suspect we could make some modifications to it- like substituting split shot for the middle fly in the Czech rig. A Polish angler I know here in the Northeast uses this technique but puts a big Tungsten Prince on the bottom and a Tungsten Pheasant Tail on top as the dropper, and he does well with this technique. The first time he fished the Neversink he caught a bunch of trout, all in the 16-20" range- so I guess it doesn't just work on grayling and small trout (primarily what they catch & fish for in the competitions- you score higher by catching a bunch of dinker trout than you with fewer & bigger ones). Where I don't think this method works is in slow or deep water, or spots the trout cannot be closely approached. They say after you learn the method, you will be able to spot the proper water. In most pictures of Czech or Polish nymphing, the fishermen are usually standing in water no more than knee deep- although they could be fishing to a deeper trench or slot just beyond them. The beauty of this method is partly in the high degree of strike detection- with virtually no slack, you detect the strike almost immediately and can make a very quick hookset. They say you can cover water very quickly too. I believe, but could be wrong, that the method was developed primarily in relatively high gradient, small mountain streams.

    Thanks Torrey... How experienced are you with this technique? Care to give a TPO clinic?
