Caseless Caddis
Examine just about any submerged rock of stick, or disturb the bottom sediment on just about any piece of fresh water, and the changes are you will find caddis larva. A large number of them are those omnipresent little buggers that make those cases out of spruce needles, or tiny sticks or even fine gravel or weeds.

Gold balls & Silver bullets
I think the effectiveness of gold and silver beads at the head of a fly, stems from a number of main functions. First, it weights the fly, getting it down quickly to where the fish are feeding. In addition, you also get a longer drift through the level of feeding fish.

Tying CDC flies with Lčon Links!!!!
CDC is a fantastic material that has caught attention of many flyfishers in the last decade. Naturally! It allows you to tie very effective flies. Still, many flyfishers only use a limited number of CDC patterns or don't use them at all.
