This is a Gammarus pattern, weighted with thin lead foil tied on a shrimp hook # 12. Super simple fly. Lead on the hook, some antennas or legs made from Coq de Lon, mono for ribbing, Pro Sportfisher Gammarus Shell black on clear coated with Bug Bond UV Resin, SLF Saltwater Dub fluo shell pink and tying thread. That’s it! Tasty! ;-)
To be honest, I’m not a fan of czech nymphing. I just love to cast with a flyrod. Czech nymphing is super effectiv, no doubt about that. It’s just too less casting for my liking… ;-)
The Czech Nymphs on the other hand are pretty cool flies. I didn’t fish them much in the past, but I want to try them in the next season, especially the ones with a little hot spot. This is quite hard for me, because I got a lot more faith in natural colors. Maybe I was wrong all the time, we’ll see….
Czech Nymphs should be weighted AND as slim as possible to sink fast. That’s not the easiest task. You have to find the right amount of dubbing. Less is more!
I look forward testing them in a nice stream for trout and grayling. :-)

The first fly of the year, the Hangover Fly. A nymph # 14 with a tungsten Bead.
This Caddis Pupa, tied on a Daiichi Klinkhamer hook # 14 was the last fly I tied in 2013.
A little tie from this morning. A Klinkhamer-style pattern with a wing post of CDC. The body is a mix of three different dubbings including Alpaka, a bit of flash and some synthetic dubbing twisted for a slim, tight body. I used a Daiichi D 1160 Klinkhamer hook # 12.
Quill Body CDC Dun # 12 with two toned CDC wing tied this morning. I really like to fish this pattern, also in smaller sizes like #14 & #16
A little nymph #14 fresh out of the vise. Bug Bond coated quill body, a little bit partridge, a little bit pheasant, some dubbing and a thread. That’s all!
I just love spey hackles to tie shrimp patterns.

A very good seatrout pattern. It’s a little bit easier and cheaper then the original Pattegrisen by Claus Eriksen. I’ve made a step by step some time ago, have a look here https://theonefly.com/?p=535
Have fun! :-)
Autumn is almost over and the winter is coming… I already miss to fish for trout and grayling, which I’ve done this year not often enough….
fast evening tie with picky graylings in mind
emerger # 14 on Daiichi 1167 Klinkhamer hook
Uuh weeee! I’m done! Don’t wont to tie these Laser Eels for the next weeks ;-)
But it’s a good feeling to see all these Laser Eels together. There are lying some hours of work.
