That sounds like plain old ordinary nymphing to me.


Yep, except the true Czech nympher uses three flies and no weight. He
gets the three flies down by using a heavily weighted fly in the
middle, while the other two are unweighted. I find that method
cumbersome, at best, and tried to advise the man to use but one nymph.
"Ordinary" nymphing includes casting a good distance and mending your
line, unlike the short (length of your leader) Czech nymphing.
