I think this is the video you are referring to correct?

It should be the same one then I searched it and pulled it over from youtube. Looks like a good find thanks for sharing the info. There are some great flytying Videos by him on youtube as well that I will be checking out after work today!

Question is, where can you get the dvd?

I have not found the DVD to buy yet just the clip. It looks like a good video to.

Here you go... http://www.czechnymph.com/en/index.php?show_page=eshop&product_pid=MM_CNY

Just make sure that you order it for North America's DVD format, or else you will have to view it on your computer...

Pleasant editing and camera work on the trailer. I wonder if there's any meat in there most of us aren't pretty familiar with?

Karel Krivanec (the white haired gentleman in the trailer) is sending a copy to me, so I'll give you a full review after I have had a chance to study it...

Got the video and watched it several times so far, I personally think this video is much better than the Jack Dennis video as you get some good close up and slow down shots of some pro's working drifts, I think its a great video for those of us new to all these techniques, and they show some medium to longer leader variations too....

I've watched the video several times. Absolutely beautiful water...especially the segments shot in Sweden. The camera work, interviews, etc. are fantastic.

As far as technique, those who've been Polish/Czech nymphing for awhile will probably see the video as validation of their existing practices and technique. That being said, the footage of Milan Janus using the distance method was completely new to me.

Rich is spot on with the value of the close-ups. I found myself anticipating the takes. I only wish Johan had given us a close up of the "$hit" fly.

Ha ha! So I did hear that right from the video then. I wish they spent a little more time with the Czech coach on leader setups, it's nice to see some leader setups for different situations. I will say this, one thing very much in common with the rivers covered was the average stream speed and depth, I think for a beginner starting out employing these methods, that is the single most important piece of information. There definitely is a specific water type where these tactics are superior.
