I watched it on TV but can't find it online. 

 

Did Tom help you with Czech nymphing?

We nymphed, but not Czech nymphing.  Tom had a little dohicky that allowed him to put a tuft of poly yarn (about a quarter inch long) on the leader as a strike indicator and we did traditional nymphing with two beadhead nymphgs  I was introduced to tippet rings and learned a ton, but watched Tom's patience and perfection was the biggest lesson.  He made sure every piece of tackle is working correctly for every cast.  It makes sense, if the nymphs aren't floating correctly, you've a wasted cast/float.

I will have to try to find the show.
