flyfishing99 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2012 Hans, Your very nice fly brings up a question I was addressing on a different site. If metamorphis is complete with the adult egg-laying caddis, why not stick with an adult stage with an egg sack and add a little lead-free wire to get the fly down in the water column? It would seem Mr/Mrs Trout is looking for the adult stage girl heading down? Thanks, Byron Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As is, with the Diving CDC&Elk I am just going for something with suggested protein value at the level the fish is holding Cheers, Hans W Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
