Caddis fishing tips - Gary LaFountaine

[afishinado]

Some really great info about fishing caddis from Gary L.

He mentions the tightline nymphing methods he often uses on the stream (and that was 40 years ago).

His advice for hooking fish that are downstream is spot on whether you're fishing nymph. wet flies or even dries.

Bob do you mean when he speaks about stripping fast once it tightens up?

No, although that probably works as well. I mean that he explains that fish feed by sucking insects, that you'll feel tug or tap before the fly even gets into the fish's mouth, and a loose loop under your finger will feed it the line it needs to get a hook up.
