Czech Nymphing, Polish Nymphing, or European Nymphing is a style of nymph fishing that is readily catching on here in the United States, especially in Colorado. It is a very effective technique that is perfectly suited for the many fast waters of our state. This style of short line nymph fishing often uses longer rods, no strike indicators, and a different leader construction designed to get your heavily weighted flies, often three, down to the bottom quickly. All of the weight used in a Czech Nymph rig is added to the flies themselves. The flies are color coded in order to provide the angler a method in deciphering the proper weight for any given circumstance on the water.
The course is taught by Blue Quill Angler guide and instructor Jonathan Keisling who has studied and practiced these techniques for several years. Jonathan has attended seminars on the topic by noted anglers Andy Burk and the famous Polish angler Vladi Trzebunia. Jonathan has also developed a series of effective tungsten flies that are becoming very popular within the Czech Nymphing community.
