I have recently been selected as Prostaff for Siman, Ltd. of the Czech Republic. Jan Siman is a former member of the Czech National Team when they won the Worlds in the 90's.
If you are interested in Czech nymph tying and fishing as well as other Euro style tying a d fishing shoot me an email at fishes-with-fly@comcast.net.
Considering that the Czech Republic, Italy and Spain finished in that order in the World Championships last year and the US can't get close to the medals, one should consider their techniques. Next year they are in Colorado! We will get spanked in our own country. We have a long way to go.

I confess that I know next to nuttin about Chech or Polish nymphing although I am curious as to how woven nymphs are made.
Any chance you could post some links that might explain nymph construction and fishing technique?

As for Czech nymphs and/or flies, you can google the term to see the flies and their construction. There are materials and hooks specific to the flies. I particularly love the use of the flat lead strips. Less bulk and plenty of weight. Please check out some tutorials and spin some up. You won't be disappointed.
As for the technique, it is very similar to high stick nymphing except with 2-3 flies with one being a very heavy point fly. You stay in contact with the point fly by "leading" the fly with your rod tip. You can also manipulate the nymphs as they dad drift by lifting or "slacking" your line so they sink even deeper. The technique is used primarily in medium to fast water. The Deerfield's faster runs and pocket water would be ideal for the technique. You also use very little fly lie out of the tip and use a very long leader. When the flies are downstream of your position, you water-load the rod and flick them back upstream for another run through. This is a very abbreviated explanation. There is a great deal more in the way of details but I think you get the idea.
The technique is catching fire here, but has been used all over Europe for quite a long time. The technique has resulted in various European countries spanking the US for over a decade. I can't remember the US ever medalling. It is usually between Spain, Italy, Czech Republic and Poland.
I hope this helps.
