Developed by Czech competition anglers to get down to the fish quickly in fast water, the style has become a mainstay on rivers across the world, and the Derwent Shrimp carries that heritage forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEach Derwent Shrimp has been tied with:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA lightly weighted underbody covering 1\/3rd of the hook.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSemperfli Classic Waxed Thread - the same colour as the real bug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA 0.1mm Wire Rib in the same colour as the bug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA 3mm Nymph Skin shellback - colour-matched to the bug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA UV\/Synthetic dubbing for the body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA typical characteristic of a Czech-style nymph is the slim profile (to allow it to sink quickly), a back covered with foil\/latex\/shellback and a wire rib.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe geeky bit, these bugs are unusually heavy for their small size:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize 16 - Length: 9.9mm, Gape: 4.25mm - Weight 0.18g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize 18 - Length: 8.0mm, Gape: 3.44mm - Weight 0.10g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCzech Nymph fishing is a style of nymph fishing practised by keeping in close contact with the flies at close range, generally in faster riffles (so you can get closer to the fish) just under the rod tip. In most cases, there is no fly line outside of the rod tip and a Czech indicator\/8m leader is used. This gives you an enhanced feel for the flies as they are drifting along the river bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Derwent Shrimp\u003c\/strong\u003e - This shrimp pattern is tied with various body and wire colour combinations on \u003cstrong\u003eAHREX FW541\u003c\/strong\u003e hooks in sizes 16 \u0026amp; 18.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Barbless Flies","offers":[{"title":"Brown \/ 16","offer_id":53375197675906,"sku":"BF-DS-BROWN-16","price":1.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ 18","offer_id":56934671352194,"sku":"BF-DS-BROWN-18","price":1.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Natural \/ 16","offer_id":53375203344770,"sku":"BF-DS-NATURAL-16","price":1.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Natural \/ 18","offer_id":56934671384962,"sku":"BF-DS-NATURAL-18","price":1.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Olive \/ 16","offer_id":53375203377538,"sku":"BF-DS-OLIVE-16","price":1.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Olive \/ 18","offer_id":56934671417730,"sku":"BF-DS-OLIVE-18","price":1.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pink \/ 16","offer_id":53375197708674,"sku":"BF-DS-PINK-16","price":1.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pink \/ 18","offer_id":56934671450498,"sku":"BF-DS-OLIVE-18","price":1.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1291\/2709\/files\/DerwentShrimp-Natural.png?v=1790159408","url":"https:\/\/www.barbless-flies.co.uk\/products\/the-derwent-shrimp","provider":"Barbless Flies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
