Flies for April 16th

The Czech trout waters open for fishing this Saturday - a day eagerly awaited by many. It will be chiefly a social occasion, but as fishermen we will want a contact with a fish on that day. The water will be cold, muddy and still a tad high, so this weekend will not be a day for dainty mayflies, but for big, fat, nutritious looking pork & beans nymph patterns.


Buchtička fly:
#10 Kamasan B110 Grubber hook (debarbed)
3,3 mm Tungsten gold head
scruffy hare dubbing, well teased out with a velcro brush
pearly tinsel rib

#10 Hanák H260BL
3,5 mm Tungsten copper bead

    And Flo, ever Czech would tell you that you Germans have it easy - BMWs instead of Skodas, Euros instead of crowns and good weather instead of rain & cold - just kidding! Hope you have a good season as well!

    Cheers!
