Untangled: Fly Fishing For Everyone | Ventures Fly Co.

Master One of Fly Fishing’s Most Important Bugs | Ep. 128


Listen Later

One of the toughest decisions you've gotta make is what fly to tie on, and sometimes, that task feels IMPOSSIBLE! One of the best ways to feel confident about picking flies is to learn as much as you can about the food that fish eat. 

Aquatic insects are a HUGE part of a fish's diet, and caddisflies are a bug that's almost always on the menu. But we don't give caddis the attention they deserve. In fact, most anglers don't know just how important caddis are, or how much they actually matter to trout. 

This week on Untangled, you'll learn all about caddisflies -- what they look like, why fish love 'em so much, and a few of our favorite patterns. This gives you the information you need to go out and give the fish EXACTLY what they wanna eat. 

You'll also learn about: 

  • How to tie your dry-dropper rigs so the dropper doesn't slide off your top fly
  • Some tips for fishing during spring runoff 
  • When and how you should use weightless nymphs (nymphs tied without beads)
