I've just seen these new posts fellas, wasn't ignoring you. I give any credit to those who take the time to help others discover the outdoors and it's wonders. I had a few "sponsors" in my younger days and I'll never ever forget them for their kindness. Pay it forward.

Bruce,
You can raid my flybox anytime. Thank you.

Already raided it a few times!

Windknotter--I have had the pleasure of raiding your fly box a few times and learned something new each one of them! I have had my chance to pass along the skills in both fishing and tying to quite a few since. You could say you invested and it is paying a dividend in quite a few men's and my kid's fishing and enjoyment. I know the spring is a tough time for your fishing with all those TOMS running around! But tight lines and best to you in the hunting as well.

I totally agree. In fact, I'd tie a trailing shuck on the fly to make it like the Sparkle Caddis Emerger patterns as in this video:

Here are a family of caddis flies based on the trailing shuck. You could do the same with a trailing shuck Theron's Caddis:

http://forums.flyfisherman.com/forum...-caddis-family

There are several ways to tie a fly with the same visual imprint on the surface film.

In the sparkle caddis, the palmered thorax hackle cut flush provide floatation and represent the legs of the caddis. In Theron's Caddis, the "paraloop" parachute hackle pullover technique on Theron's Caddis accomplishes the the same thing as a separate wing and trimmed palmered hackle.

I'm currently in the process of reading a draft of Gary Borger's next book, Fishing the Film. It should be published later this year.

It is the first book in a series of 20 books Gary has planned. Computers are wonderful aren't they? Gary loaded the files from his computer to my flash drive and I can see the edits that Gary and Jason have made from first draft to current draft as the book takes its final form.

The book is a combination of the why and how to fish that thin layer of watery film that separates the fish's world from our own. There are scattered stories from Gary's fishing trips that illustrate how the theory and practice of fishing the film collide in the real world.

One lesson is that the surface imprint of the fly on the film is very important and there are many good ways to accomplish this.
