Vary the depth each cast and when you catch a fish or one takes a look at your fly, with your next cast, count to the same number and the fly should be at the same depth again.

One fine June day when the northern mosquitoes were in full bloom, I made the difficult trek over a very boggy trail to Wicheeda Lake, some forty kilometers east of Bear Lake.  I was primarily fishing a wet line from a float tube and had experienced only marginal success with leech patterns.  As I could see numerous fish feeding near the bottom in this very clear lake, I switched to the bottom caddis and was delighted when the trout cooperated with several solid strikes!  Perhaps this fly may not have been designed for lake fishing but I cannot argue with the results of that day on Wicheeda Lake!",

Another bonus of this fly is that it floats extremely well even without artificial floatant",

I had broken a knee cap while coaching minor hockey (that is another story) and while fitted with a plaster cast for many weeks, I found the inspiration to sign up for a night school course in fly tying, a dream that had been pushed aside with the continuing excuse, I'm too busy now and will do it next year!  The hockey accident turned out to be a lucky break as my instructor for the fly tying course turned out to be Earl Anderson and today I still use those fundamentals that he taught me many years ago!",

My second stay in this BC working town was in the mid 80s and my interest in fly fishing led me to the Polar Coachmen's, a rather informal group who liked to get together to tie flies, swap fishing stories and yes, to even build fly rods!  At these sessions, I learned to tie some interesting northern fly patterns, including the subject fishing fly, the Hart Lake Vixen. One of our mentors was Steve Head who claimed that patterns like the black leech needed a bit of touch up for the darker waters found in many of the Prince George vicinity lakes.",

My early fly fishing education was on the insect-rich rivers of the Catskill Mountains in New York State: the Beaverkill,\r\nWillowemoc, Esopus and the branches of the Delaware.  Since then, I've fished for trout in most of the \"trout\" states in the US, as well as in Canada and northern Europe.  My favorite water is the placid meandering stretch of the Henry's Fork of the Snake River near Last Chance, Idaho, where it passes through the Harriman Ranch and where the rainbows are wild, well-fed and very selective.\r\n-Eric",

            "Anecdote": "The rationale for tying variations using the alternative materials, may best be explained by a story.  On the last day of my most recent trip to the Henry's Fork, I began casting to a large, rising fish at about 1:15 PM.  I cast to the fish for three-and-a-half hours, trying some 20 different flies; primarily PMD imitations but also imitations of some other insects that were in evidence.  During the entire 210-minute episode, the fish did not stop its slow, deliberate surface feeding for longer than\r\nperhaps a minute or two.  The fish, which turned out to be a 21.5\" rainbow, finally took the fifth, distinctly -- but slightly -- different, emerger pattern I cast to it.  The \"winning\" design was the\r\nZelon-winged emerger.  Early in our meeting, the fish had \"bulged\" to the transitional emerger with a CDC wing.  The Zelon-winged transitional, the CDC-winged emerger, the PMD nymph, as well as the floating pheasant tail nymph (normally very effective) had all been ignored.  An organism with a brain the size of a  #4 shotgun pellet had stated a strong case for the angler not to become wedded to a single design!",

I was getting ready to fish at the Maden dam, near KingWilliamsTown,when a small group of people approached me. They were part of a Christian conference in the area, and were enjoying the walk around the dam. After chatting for a few moments, they asked me what fly I was going to use. I said that seeing they were a Christian group, I would put on \"The Lord's Killer\"  Lo and behold! First cast! A four pound rainbow took the fly.After a good fight I landed it. One of the men remarked that fishing looked easy, and that would like  to \r\ntake it up!",

The colour of the male, when newly hatched, is a very bright tawny yellow, that of the female a greenish brown; she is rather smaller than the male, is found in as great numbers on the water and is as good a fly to imitate. This insect is not in full season after the end of April, but in blustering days may be used all the year round. It is a fly that varies much in size, the early specimens being mostly small.

In still water the food is stationary, floating on the surface, and the fish wanders in search of it; so the angler's fly must be stationary, and it should be placed on the surface just where the wandering fish is most likely to come across. There's, however, one exception: floating flies may be blown along the surface of the water, and the fish may remain in one place, taking them as they drift by.\r\n\"Fly Fishing, Some New Arts and Mysteries\"  JC Mottram, (1915)",

This allows the CDC to recover and the fly will be ready again in half an hour or so. If you need to apply floatant to the fly, only apply it to the body of the fly, not the CDC!\r\n\r\nWe have caught so many fish with the CDC ParaDun (sometimes 2 at a time on the same line) that it is difficult to single out a highlight.\r\nHowever, in January 2001, George and Helen Westropp were fishing with me from my boat during a small mayfly hatch. We spotted a big brown sipping duns on the other side of a snag. Helen threw a great cast over the top of the snag to put the fly right in the path of the fish. The big jack\r\nbrown sipped the fly, Helen set the hook. Helen then gave the fish some slack line so as not to pull the fish into the snag and the fish casually sipped another dun, while it was still hooked!",

            "Anecdote": "Two hours of polaroiding and we had not even spooked a fish, morale was low. Suddenly from about 12 yards in front of us, in knee deep water, emerged a monster brown. Brian's cast landed right on line and the big brown rose up and refused the Red Tag. She then changed direction and I\r\ntold Brian to cover her again. Next cast also was right on line, except this time the Black Spinner, was nearest the fish. She quietly sipped the fly, Brian set the hook, and all hell broke loose. She bolted into the shallows, churned them up, then took Brian's fly line and about 40 yards of backing into the middle of the lagoon. She jumped, then came right back in, jumped three more times, then headed for the middle of the lagoon again, this time only taking the full fly line. Having reached the middle of the lagoon, she then tail walked across the water. After a few more jumps she tired and I attempted to fit her in my landing net- without luck. In the end I had her head in the net and grabbed her tail. She came in at a little over 11 pounds- not bad on 4 pound tippet and a size 12 Black Spinner!\r\nBrett Wolf",

            "Anecdote": "The Tasmanian Western Lakes area is renowned for its great fly fishing to big trout in shallow water. One of the very exciting and visual aspects of this shallow water fly fishing is what we call fishing to\r\ntailing trout. Tailing fish are trout that are seen in water shallow enough so that their movements can be detected by either a bow wave, swirl, or better still by their tails and/or backs protruding from the\r\nwater. These fish when hooked will often head for the safety of deeper water, which sometimes is more than a fly lines length away, and because the water is so shallow, the battle with a hooked tailing fish is often very visual with lots of jumps and big splashes.\r\nNeedless to say, hooking one of these fish can be a real challenge and fly selection is often vital. I have always enjoyed the gentle take from those big Western Lakes brownies on a Red Tag and believe me, many a tailing fish has fallen victim to a well placed dry fly. Sometimes, however, particularly early in the season, tailing fish are not looking up and a dry fly is completely ignored. The next challenge is to use a wet fly that does not sink into the weedy margins before a trout can find it. This is where the Snail Thong comes into it's own.",

The situation was very desperate given that I had already removed the dry fly from Michael's line and tied on a Yellow Bunny.  After a short session flogging the Yellow Bunny, Michael decided that enough was enough and started to reel up his loose line. I asked Michael to pass me his rod because it was a tradition to throw a long cast at the end of a tough day and wind the line onto the reel. I threw a long line and handed Michael the rod, he had wound about 2 yards of line onto the reel when bang! He was into his first ever trout on fly- a 3 pound brown.",
