THIS VIDEO SEGMENT on fishing Caddisfly Water is from "Successful Fly Fishing Strategies" (Miracle Productions, DVD, 100 minutes), an extensive video guide to how to observe and analyze a large variety of trout fishing situations, from deep water nymphing in high water to casting streamers to undercut banks. The DVD features Gary LaFontaine, the famed author, lecturer, publisher and fly fishing instructor, who died in 2002 of Lou Gehrig's Disease, and his fishing partner Dick Sharon, an outfitter and former major league outfielder.

Excerpt: "DURING A HATCH, emerging nymphs in the film escape their shucks and adults skitter across the surface, so you can fish the adults up
and across with no drag. And then, after the dry fly has drifted downstream, twitch it and pull it back slowly. There are three possible spots from which to fish here.
A is on the bank here. B is on the bottom of the run. And C is here, on the right side."

Buy "Successful Fly Fishing Strategies" ($29.95) from The Book Mailer.
