The flies presented here were designed and are used to catch Chub on my local rivers (Berounka, Mže, Radbuza, Úhlava, Úslava). They can be used on any river with success.
It may be noticed that they are not limited to terrestrial dry flies – in fact I use very few of that style of fly – they are mostly wet flies and nymphs.
These Chub flies are not limited to catching only Chub either – most flies fished and presented in an attractive way, will be effective with most river and stream species.
