The light and cream cahill hatches are underrated and don’t get the attention they deserve. These bugs emerge during the summer months—the light cahill arrives first—when many fly anglers have moved on to other activities, perhaps family-oriented pursuits such as kids’ sports and vacations. Additionally, many anglers don’t want to fish when the waters are... The post Light Cahill Parachute appeared first on Fly Tyer.| Fly Tyer
Every fly angler needs a reliable and versatile caddis dry-fly pattern. Anyone who fishes for trout has at least a few of either an Elk-Hair Caddis, X-Caddis, or Iris Caddis—or perhaps all three. The Goddard Caddis, known for its remarkable ability to float through almost anything, is another popular imitation. For the past dozen years,...

by Tim Flagler For far too many years I believed that fishing streamers during the winter months was basically a fool’s errand. Nearly everything that I was told or read, suggested that trout would only take precisely drifted, subsurface patterns or diminutive midge imitations fished on, or near, the water’s surface.

by Tim Flagler I’m not sure the fly tying or fly fishing world really needs another October caddis pupa imitation, but I’m particularly fond of this one, and it’s been working quite well for me this fall, especially since waters have cooled down a bit. Recipe: Hook: 3X-heavy nymph hook (here, a Fulling Mill 5115), size 10. Thread: Dark... The post October Caddis Pupa appeared first on Fly Tyer.| Fly Tyer

by Tim Flagler We here in the Eastern United States are fortunate in that we have really good Isonychia hatches. It’s a shame many regions of North America do not. Iso’s, as they’re known for short, are also called Slate Drakes, Mahogany Duns or Leadwing Coachmen. Rarely do Iso’s produce blanket hatches. They, instead, prefer...
