Some Czech nymphs for Wherwells Grayling

[danielp]

A few small czech nymphs i have tied up to try and tempt the grayling at wherwell.

These two are size 12 czech nymphs with seals fur dubbing




This small bug is tied on a 16 and i am not so sure about this one working


As always advice is welcomed with open arms

cant fault them tbh mate
ive got a box or so load of these kinds of flies in different sizes and weights for grayling and early season trout.
Great flies

What colour combos do you find most effective? I have only just started river fishing so my experience is pretty much nil (I have only caught on pale pink with a fluoro pink thorax atm). I am judging all my colour choice atm on what i like to look at and am hoping they work lol.

Any advice on a few combos to fill up the box with would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

@danielp- I've fished Wherwell good few times with great results. Usually I used half a dozen of nymphs- tungsten bead PT with pink and orange collar, full pink one, cased caddis but the greatest of all was tungsten head with body from Anchor 9426 wool ( cut to pieces and then mixed in coffee grinder).

Will try to upload some photos later on.

Regards,

Mike

P.S. The biggest grayling I had was 48 cm

Cheers for the advice guys i will have to tie up a few orange with pink thorax they look the biz.

With regards to that wool i have never heard of it so will google it later and try and match the colour as best as possible with what i have, a picture would be greatly appreciated thanks makes it much easier to plagiarise lol

I dont know about Wherwells but up here after a season of getting pink things the size of your fist chucked at them i often find something smaller and more natural (greens ,brown etc) a bit more effective than something flashy.
Having said that on its day pink is still hard to beat.
