Czech Nymphs

A few czech nymphs I've been working on lately. I'm liking this variation--much slimmer than I'm used to tying. The relative slimness should aid in getting these flies down in our turbulent western streams.

Cream, Burnt orange, and Black



Amber and Burnt Orange (Golden Stonefly)

These flies are all tyed in pretty much the same way. The generic pattern is as follows:

• Hook: Knapek czech nymph #8
• Bead: Tungsten gold 1/8"
• Underbody: Flattened lead wire .02" (2 Layers)
• Rib 1: V-rib small or 3x mono
• Rib 2: Oval tinsel small
• Back: Scud back, foil or Thin Skin
• Body: Dubbing
• Legs/Thorax: Dubbing
