Craig Matthews once again reminded me of a very effective tying technique for fishing spinners and Caddis in the late evening – especially for tired ,old eyes. It involves using EP (Enriquo Puglisi) Fibers, BLACK for the wing which is an easy color to pick up in fading light, when the sky is overcast and [...]

- “Those anglers who think trout will take no fly unless it is an exact imitation of some one of the immense number of flies they are feeding on, must suppose that they know to a shade the colour of every fly on the water, and can detect the least deviation from it – an amount of entomological knowledge that would put to shame the angler himself and a good many naturalists to boot”. May 31, 2012some interesting points there. Stewart was said to be an old grump that didn’t hesitate to yell at people who didn’t share his opinions. just to be on the safe side, from now on i’ll tie all my flies in either fashionable Black or in multi-colored swirls as this Starl’-Wing Cripple so the fish can [...]Marc Fauvet
