From the Archives: Slinging Caddis
Just a shot I pulled from the archives. Kel fishing a deserted stretch of a Montana river. Caddis adult + caddis pupa. Cast, mend, drift, swing. Repeat until it’s “fish on!”

Projects
"Fly Fishing, the Book Series" was begun in 2010 as a collaboration between my father, Gary (GB) and myself. This planned 20-book series will explore a huge range of fly-fishing topics over 5+ years. The books are available signed and personalized by GB from his eBay store. Unsigned copies (at the basic retail price) are available here or from other angling book retailers.
THE SERIES PASS
A special "Series Pass" for all 20 books is also being offered. One million words, all fly fishing!

Caddis adult + pupa? Was Kel fishing a 2 fly rig? What would you say is the optimum distance between the adult fly and the pupa?
Bruno—Yes, two-fly rig. I usually base distance on water depth/speed and fly weight (of course fly type—what it’s imitating—is a factor, too). If I recall right, we set up the rig with about 18-inches between flies for this area in general and it worked well overall. Most of the fish took the pupa, with a few taking a shot at the adult.
