I’m not the most experienced fly fisher, so I’ve been reading all the magazines. I saw a term in an ad for a G.Loomis rod that I’m not familiar with: Czech nymphing. I went to the Google for answers and down the pipes came several descriptions of the activity that seemed really, really familiar.
Question: Isn’t Czech nymphing just Uppper Sacto style high-sticking?
I don’t think it’s quite the same, though the differences are minor. And yes, any pretense of nymphing expertise on my part is purely bravado.
I do think Czech nymphing involves a lower rod tip, and I don’t believe it involves weight on the line – simply a heavily weighted nymph on the bottom of the rig, and two lighter nymphs above it. I’m sure there are other differences – along with plenty of people willing to enlighten you – but we’ve reached the limits of my knowledge (I say that without even a hint of shame).
