Synopsis:
Oliver Edwards, on the country's great river fly fishermen demonstrates the art of Czech Nymphing / Upstream Nymphing and fishing North Country Spiders. The DVD includes fishing, casting techniques and fly tying. Oliver Edwards says about the DVD - I learnt Czech Nymphing while fishing the 1996 World Fly Fishing Championships in the Czech Republic. Does it work as well in the UK and the USA as it did in the rivers of the Czech Republic? Yes of course it does! It is devastatingly effective - what is more, I hook good fish in places I hadn't previously considered worth fishing.
Classic Upstream Nymphing was once the preserve of southern chalk streams, however it is also very effective on fast flowing freestone rivers. It is often quite strenuous fishing fast riffle but more often than not, your hard work is rewarded both in terms of numbers and size of fish. For me there is also something very special, almost magical fishing this way - tightening on to that slight stab of the fly line and feeling the solid thump, thump of a fish. North Country Spiders ??Most fishermen prefer wet fly fishing 'across and down', probably because it is an easy relaxing way to fish, but it is not the best way in my experience. I prefer to cast virtually square across the current using an upstream reach cast, holding the rod high I track it across my body allowing the spiders to drift with control not just swinging round in the current. This way I avoid those plucks and pulls and connect with many more fish.
