Caddis celebration episode 11 Gary Lafontaine "Why Is caddis important"? ties his Deep Sparkle pupa

All This May, Jack Dennis captures historic insight on caddisflies with entomology, fly tying and techniques to help you become a better fly fisherman. You'll see all about caddis in the eyes of master caddis man, the late Gary Lafontaine, Mike Lawson, Kelly Galloup, Scott Sanchez, and a host of other well-known fly fishermen as we dedicate May to the caddis. May is the start of many caddis fly hatches throughout North America, with one of the most famous hatches occurring this weekend, Mother's Day. This insect is prolific worldwide and is one of the trout's most abundant food sources year-round. We will be bringing you new episodes every day. All about caddis: get ready and hang on for some great action.

Jack, thank you so much for making these videos of Gary available for everyone. I have several of your fly tying manuals and also Garys books. What a joy to watch and be able to tie the exact patterns that Gary developed through years of research. Amazing - Tight lines my friend - John in Montana

Good old Aunt Lydia’s carpet yarn (which was also good for spinning & clipping for saltwater crab flies) & then Antron knitting yarn. I’m pretty sure there was a major run on stores in the Greater Boston area after Gary’s tying class at the regional fly show.
