This morning I ventured out for an hour onto my local River, The River Calder at Copley near Halifax in the county of West Yorkshire and tried my hand at Euro Czech, French nymphing whatever you would call it.

It’s not as easy as it makes out as I have been a still water fisherman for sometime, but to assist me with the fish taking the jig fly I used a strike indicator and well it worked and I got a few graying.
Every so often I would remove the indicator and try with just the 9m Euro / Czech nymphing leader line, but sorry to say I only hooked fish with the indicator bung attached.
I enjoyed my little fishing experiment, but I will be hitting the lakes over the next few weeks as the river is great, but when the sun comes out so do the locals and take over the best fishing spots to picnic, while the kids swim about in the water, which is fair but not what I want from a trout river.
I have fished this river on and off now since 1985 and it has always had a good head of brown trout along with grayling, pike, chub and even the odd sea trout so I will be back later in the year.
