I've really enjoyed your Bug of the Month series. It's great that you show how to tie a fly AND then how to fish it.

[@AnglersCovey]

This was the goal! Thank you for your feedback and we’re thrilled to hear you are enjoying our videos. Which is your favorite series that we’ve done?

[@BP-1988]

The BWO and Caddis BoMs are my favorites because I catch a lot of fish on them in the Eastern Sierras here in California.

[@AnglersCovey]

@@BP-1988 excellent! That’s great to hear! Are your caddis hatches the primary insect in your region? Any of the patterns we’ve shared work out there as well?

[@BP-1988]

Our best hatches are probably BWOs in spring and then in the fall. We get caddis usually late spring/early summer. PMDs are usually good May/June/July. This year was a little harder to fish because our rivers and steams ran unusually high from the amount of snow and rain we got. My go to BWOs are: BWO Comparaduns, BWO Parachute Duns, Barr's BWO Emergers, PTNs, WD40s and RS2s. For Caddis, my go tos are a Partridge Caddis, Brooks Hot Creek Caddis, CDC Caddis and Lafontaine Sparkle Pupa. Also, I tie most of these in small sizes - 18-24s

@@BP-1988 we had a similar summer. Lots of water! Sounds like your favorite flies are all great producers here in Colorado as well!

[@alexargyros7186]

Thanks for the excellent video. Could you answer two questions: 1. What knot do you use to create your dropper tags? 2. What is the diameter of your dropper tags? Thanks.

[@dankochanek8056]

Glad it wasn't windy down there.

[@AnglersCovey]

😂😂 The wind was BRUTAL! Hopefully it still turned out ok!

[@hovhannesharutiunian1340]

A drop-shot rig with a bobber up top? Or did you switch to traditional shot and indicator rig?

[@AnglersCovey]

I’ll have Brian respond about the set up

Nice presentation EXCEPT needed serious editing to get rid of repetition. Thanks anyway.
