Skittering a Caddis Fly

[afishinado]

Decenet video showing a good way to rig and skitter caddis. Works for active mayflies, stoneflies, craneflies and any insect that is active on the water including terrestrials.

Excellent video. At least once or twice a year, I'll have a day where this is the only technique I can get to work.

The only thing he said that I disagree with is that the top fly needs to be good floater. It works just as well with a wet fly. In fact, it's been used with wets for centuries.
