The Czechs are masters of nymph fishing for trout, and this fly pattern is designed to get down hard and fast where the fish are feeding. The heavy weight of the Tunghead makes it the anchor for a Czech dropper system that has proven deadly on so many American rivers.
Another colorful fly in the Czech-Mate series of flies designed specifically for European or Czech-style nymphing, this lightly weighted fly works perfectly as the top or bottom fly in a Czech-style rig. Designed to be fished either above or below a heavier fly, the Pinky will roll along the bottom and entice fish to strike in faster-moving water.
Most Czech nymphing is done in faster moving water, in runs fly anglers would typically bypass. A large portion of Czech nymphs have what tiers call "hot spots," which help the flies stand out underwater, and the Czech-Mate Sparkle & Orange is a vividly colored nymph, proven to catch fish using a variety of nymphing techniques.
