JAN SIMAN PRODUCTS
Not only the CZECH NYMPH Specialist Materials, but possibly the easiest system of tying a variety of Flies - fresh & saltwater !!
Brief History:
Keen fly fisherman and avid 'thinker' Jan Siman successfully represented his country of Czech Republic in numerous World Fly Fishing Championships. His fanatic love of fly fishing for Trout and Grayling in his native Czech lead him into fly tying and the design and development of a number of ranges of Dubbing Brush and Softdub. He regularly attends Fly Tying Symposiums in Europe and USA as well as operating his own manufacturing company, fishing tackle shop and fishing distribution business in Czech Republic.
Jan is a perfectionist and in developing his product line Jan has always sought to use the best of materials for ease of use, colour and representation. Many have sought to emulate him but very few have matched his quality. Listed below is a compilation of various dubbing brushes that comprehensively cover river trout, stillwater, salmon and even saltwater patterns. All are easy and quick to tie and some are even featured on his video. We have listed a number of UK shops stocking these products, and if you look on our events page you will see where and when you will have the opportunity of seeing these materials in use. Finally, look out for 'Fly of the Month' page which will illustrate some of these products in use.

c). JS Magic Shrimp Foil
A lot of materials are available for making the backs of nymphs but this 'Magic Shrimp Foil' offers more with a soft, stretchy flexible body on one side matt and glossy on the other.. Cut in 6mm strips this is the best material for Shrimp Backs, Thorax cases and Translucent fly bodies. Easily cut into yet thinner strips without losing strength or fear of damaging this can then be wound onto the bodies of nymphs , buzzers and spinners etc for fine delicate truly representative results. Equally very effective in giving that true life feel to Salmon Shrimp and Prawn fly patterns. Available in 16 colours :

Soft Dub rather than Dubbing Brush gives one the extra option making these ideal for quick tying of Dry Flies as well as wet and nymph bodies. They are also handy for making that wrap or two at the throat of other patterns (eg emergers) which makes that little but important extra difference.
