Caddis are huge players in our fly boxes for a couple reasons. One trout love em, and they are just about everywhere in the west. Today Larry is showing us one of his go patterns for fishing the main snake. The caddis in these stretches tend to be on the larger size and so the leather larva was born. Big profile, life like texture when wet, and super durable.
In today's video Larry is showing us a new spin on the rubber leg nymph. This is a mixture between two classics. The pats rubber leg and the Montana stone nymph. Big meaty nymph that is going to be a must have as we get closer to the salmon fly hatch.

The Gamechanger fly pattern is one of the most realistic bugs out there. Tons of awesome variations so we decided to add one to the mix. We find that most recipes call for a lot of trimming, time, and material. Techno Bunny simplified the process while getting the same results.
The Salmon Fly hatch is one of the most sought after hatches of any fly fisherman. Having the right bug is key to enticing fish that live in high pressure areas and have seen tons of patterns. The Grease Monkey Stone brings a lot to the table. The segmented under body and the way it rides in the water makes this a really convincing snack to wary trout.
