Continuing with our Czech nymphing theme of late, Davie McPhail shows us how to tie a true Czech nymph in this fly tying video tutorial.
Slim Profile, Heavily Weighted Nymph
A slim profile and tightly wrapped body are characteristic of a Czech nymph and help minimize resistance in the water enabling the fly to sink quickly. The flat, sticky-backed lead tape shown in the video is a great way to maintain the slim profile yet still heavily weight Czech nymphs.

Have a great weekend!
