So Michael was itching to go fishing while the rest of us needed to get our fishing licenses and some gear down in Ennis. Ally, Nick and I wanted to visit Kelly Galloup’s new shop ( Galloup’s Slide North ) , outside Ennis, MT and stop at the Ennis Pharmacy for some Indian Fry Bread…

This is Mike Mercer’s Missing Link Caddis:

This, along with Craig Matthew’s Spent Deer Hair Caddis, are two fly patterns that represent the terminal stage of the insect.

Kelly Galloup’s Butch Caddis: Is a pattern developed for fast water, particularly, on the fast currents of The Madison River around the Slide Inn area…
