Jimmy Holmström, Sweden. One really good Arctic Char 56 cm/2 kg in training session of the 4th European Championship, river Ransaran at Saxnäs (North Sweden), caught on the 1st July 2004. The fly is gold-bead, rusty orange body and silver tinsel, one simple fly but effective in hi water.

Andrew Cartwright, from the United Kingdom, sent following his best catches: This and next 2 nd fish were both caught on the river Severn, Wales, both on a pink bug and nearly one after each other, in the same run. The fish on the grass meassured 49 cms and the one in the water was 48cms. This grayling picture was caught 2 winters ago and is to date my best ever grayling, this one meassured 51cms, 3 1/2 lbs, not sure if this one would count as it was caught on a size 20 Griffiths Gnat dry fly, on a very cold November day, this fish also came from the river Severn. The grayling society reada scale for me they said it was 7 yrs old. Andrew´s email is: andrew@acgameangling.co.ukwww.acgameangling.co.uk

This one is a 61 cm sea trout caught in Normandy this august on the heaviest and biggest nymph of my fly box, that day I was looking for brownies and wasn't expecting such a fish. I spend almost one hour trying dozen of different ligther patterns before it decided to swallow that big nymph (hook size : 10). A few weeks before I've lost a bigger sea trout on a nymph (around 70 cm) and this one is the first and lonely sea trout I've ever caught. PS : This fish as been released after the photo

Thanks to all of you for posting great pictures.
It is impossible to decide, what is the best Czech nymph catch.
So everybody of you will get collection of 12 Czech nymphs.
Chiro, send me your address for sending flies. Others addresses I have.
Cheers,
Jan

Great fish chiro. I have also sea trouts here in the Mondego river . Cant you remember the fly you have use . Actually I'v used a nymph which I previously used for barbels : tied like a czech pattern but with a gold bead (hook size : 10, green and brown hare's dubbing). I've never tried that one for brownies (they'll be feared of I guess) but barbels seem to appreciate it. I haven't got any picture, this model remained in the lip of one of those "turbo" fish at the end of this summer. I have to ty some new ones for the next season.

Hi All I fished the RIver Tanat in the beautiful Berwyn Mountains in Wales last sunday. The river was high and flowing swiftly but I found a nice quiet bend with some streamer weed beds - surely hiding a good fish.... A lovely 18" (45cm) fish with a thick deep body about 2 and a quarter/half pounds in weight. Taken using czech nymph method and one of the gold head nymphs recently bought from Jans shop ;D
