Caddis celebration with Gary Lafontaine tying his Deep Sparkle Pupa with reasons for its importance

One of the most important caddis patterns crafted by Gary Lafontaine. All the month of June, Jack Dennis keeps capturing 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.
