Tactics & Tying
The river god II.
Mardi, 15 Juin 2004 00:00
Famed for their devastatingly effective nymph methods, Czech river anglers are among the best in the world: Current national team coach Jiri Klima, also known as 'the river god', talks to Russell Hill about the latest Czech tactics and reveals the v new flies that will dramatically improve your river sport.
RH: You've been hailed as a 'river god' in the angling press. How do you feel about that?
JK: For me, it's a big privilege that someone like Charles Jardine called me a river god. I only hope that there aren't too many more river gods out there. I'm sometimes called similar names back home in the Czech Republic.
Upper Severn

Charls Jardine spends the day with two anglers who have turned a passion into a lifestyle.
With the strengthening midwinter sun burning off vapour into columns along the rivers and streams threading their way through the Marches and mid-Wales, it seemed to be just about a perfect grayling day.
Andrew Cartwright and Paul Penllington are not just passionate about fishing the upper Severn - the river virtually consumes their whole lives. Living at Caerwys they are afforded that unique opportunity to blend and mesh with the river on an almost daily basis.

John Wilson from Arkansas, USA, asked me recently, which leaders are now used for the Czech nymph? A very interesting question. I phoned some of my friends within half an hour and spoke to five of them, who should be able to supply some information. They answered in a straightforward manner and I do not suspect of them sought to mislead me.

Time is precious and fishing trips often have to be planned way in advance, leasing you at the mercy of the weather. Simon Kidd was planning to fish dry flies in the sunshine but he was forced to change mind …
I decided that I needed to get some time in on a truly wild river. Time is precious at the moment with the World Championship looming and I could only spare one weekend at the end of May. It was then or never.
As the weekend approached, great anticipation turned to despair as the weather forecasts continued to predict forecasts of rain, showers and yet more rain. Strong winds were forecast all week, accompanying the showers, and temperatures were staying down, too. Typical!
Tying a Czech nymph
Jeudi, 02 Octobre 2003 00:00
I have been looking for some instructions on tying a Czech Nymph, as I bought some and found them very effective. I've tried to tie them but have been unsuccessful. (IAN YOUNG, IPSWICH)
Peter Gathercole answers: As the name suggests, the Czech Nymph was developed by anglers from the Czech Republic as an effective way of catching trout and grayling in fast flowing streams. Tied in a range of sizes and colour combinations the pattern is used mainly with a technique known as the rolled nymph where it is fished on a very short line so that the downstream drift of the fly can be accurately controlled.
Grayling of a lifetime

Peter Gathercole learns a radical new grayling technique that northern match anglers Paul Davison and Howard Croston say has improved their take detection by up to 500 per cent.
SNOW and ice freeze the banks and hoar frost still gilds the stark branches at midday. It's minus five degrees and most creatures with a pulse are well and truly tucked up somewhere warm - except for a few well-insulated fisherman brave enough to try their luck at catching that 'Lady of the Stream' the grayling.
Perfectly streamlined with that huge dorsal fin, the grayling is one of the most attractive fish in our rivers. The River Teviot in Scotland's Border region meanders from the hills to join the River Tweed at Kelso and is famous for big grayling, sometimes over 31b, and that's the mission today.
