Information about Larva & Pupa flies
The nymph takes up the majority of a trout's diet. Mayfly nymphs live underwater for six to twelve months, and sometimes longer.
The chironomid life cycle includes egg, ”larva”, “pupa” and adult stages.
A caddis fly pupa usually looks like a plump, soft little worm resembling a common grub.

I enjoyed my many years working for BC Tel and like many employees and, for that matter, their friends as well, older, used, BC Tel rope invariably turned up in our tool kits and garages. How could you tell that it was BC Tel rope you may ask? Well, it is a distinctive woven polypropylene of three very bright hues, yellow, blue and green. It is an excellent quality rope that is good for a wide variety of uses, including the many tasks that the construction crews handle in their outside plant work. Very early in my fly tying career, I learned that the rope, once the strands were separated, made an excellent attractor wet fly. I am not sure what the trout think it represents, perhaps to some a caddis pupae, but the fly does work at times and the recipe is listed below.

Bottom Caddis
Availablity:
Flybox Code:715
Trade Only
Note: We can manufacture any design to order, subject to a minimum order size of 12 doz with a typical 3 month lead time.
The bottom caddis was created for winter trout fishing on Vancouver Island streams when a favorite food source for large marauding trout are the bottom dwelling caddis larvae. These insects attach small pieces of sand and other materials to form a protective shell as they in turn scour the stream bed for food. Often, flakes of mica are picked up for their shells and consequently, a reflective sparkle is apparent when they slowly move among the bottom rocks. This is why a silver tinsel chenille is used as the primary body layer, over wrapped with dubbed green seal or other appropriate material. However, a key factor in using this fly is to fish it right off the bottom, therefore several turns of lead wire should be used as the first step in the body construction!

The wind blew in spurts on a chilly October day at Buck Lake. The gray day beckoned of snow soon to come in the Douglas Lake Ranch plateau. There were no obvious hatches in the cool weather to provide a hint of what the larger rainbow and occasional brook trout might be feeding on in the lake depths. On a hunch, I changed to a sink tip fly line and a weighted caddis crawler to search the bottom near the small west edge island. After a few casts, my line suddenly tightened with the unmistakable pull of a heavy fish. Several minutes later I was rewarded with a rainbow trout just over 2 pounds, clean and silver as they come!

Availablity:

Trade Only
Note: We can manufacture any design to order, subject to a minimum order size of 12 doz with a typical 3 month lead time.
This fly was made up during a bad drought. Our dam was down about ten metres, and had been so for about a year. I had made a casual dress fly with a flash back of pearl, and discovered that when I fished it on or in the bottom weed, I was getting good takes.
The problem was that I had run short of Muskrat fur, so decided to use Dassie fur, of which we have a plentiful supply. This animal is the "Rock rabbit" or HYRAX.These animals are pests to farmers!
So I tried this new dressing. One day, when nothing else would do, and my fishing pal said he was going to pack up, I tied on a Dassie flashback on the tail, and Walkers' yellow nymph flashback on the bob.It was nearly four o'clock, and within a half an hour, I had eight fish on the bank! I was using a fast sink line, and my companion, using the same fly, and fishing very close to me, didn't get a touch! But he was using a slow sink tip line! When we cleaned the trout, we found them to be full of phantom larvae.
So when nothing else is doing, these are the two flies I put on, using the fast sink line.

July is a favorite month of mine to surface fish with dry sedge, particularly the big travelling sedges of Western Canadian lakes. However, there are times of the day even in the prime sedge hatching season when a sedge pupa fished under the surface is the best way to catch those large rainbow trout. I recall an occasion when my friend, Tony Lillington, won the High Lakes BC Tel fishing derby using a large green sedge pupa on a sink tip fly line. Only an occasional sedge was actually hatching so Tony patiently worked the shoals at Doreen lake with the big sedge pupa and was rewarded with the largest fish of the derby!

Shrimp or more correctly called scud patterns often are the big winners for trout success on BC lakes as the fish feed on them throughout much of the year. There are many popular patterns including the famous Werner shrimp, the baggy shrimp and many others but an old favorite from my Kamloop's days is the Drunken Miller. Where this name comes from, I do not know, perhaps someone out there can inform me of the origin! However, the fly is tied to represent a shrimp carrying an orange egg sac. Perhaps the insect in this condition is more succulent to trout because on Roche Lake, I have caught fish on this pattern when the regular green only pattern has failed!

I was asked many years ago to tie some Dunkeld Nymphs, I looked for the correct tying but could not find in anywhere, after many phone calls I was put in touch with a very old gentleman who remembered an old pattern for this fly, I tied the order incorporating one new material, the thorax, as I had a few flies spare and a fishing trip was called for I popped the flies in my pocket, an hour later I was on the river, I was using a team of two flies casting across and up stream, after several trout I noticed that they were all taking the Dunkeld.
I have had several good fishing trips on lakes using this fly, all in all a good fly to have on the cast.

Note: We can manufacture any design to order, subject to a minimum order size of 12 doz with a typical 3 month lead time.
Earl's favorite fly was one that he invented to imitate the large stone fly nymphs that can be found in BC waters such as the Mahood River. However, the effectiveness of this fly is not just restricted to rivers but it can at times perform marvellously well in such great still water places like Dragon Lake, which is a few kilometers south of Quesnel. Earl used a philosophy that big flies can catch big fish and I have found that to be certainly true while fishing for those huge rainbows in Dragon Lake using the Earl Anderson stonefly nymph.

This imitation was developed at the same time as my Rhacophila pattern and is often used on the same cast. Although it appears to be a fairly complicated dressing, it is not that difficult, and very well worth the effort. This caseless caddis not only works for trout but is an essential fly for winter grayling. I

I came up with this idea because I wanted a pattern that was both highly imitative and very simple to tie. Unfortunately most of the recognised dressings that were available at the time either did not look right or were ridiculously complicated to tie. After all said and done you are imitating a species that lives on the bottom of rocky rivers so, during the course of a days fishing it is inevitable that you are going to lose a few.

My usual method of using this sort of imitation is using it as a point fly under a buoyant dry sedge pattern such as Al Troth’s Elk Hair Sedge. Experiment with your retrieve, sometimes it will only be accepted static, whereas at the other extreme you sometimes have to strip it back as fast as you can.

Howard Lake in BC's caribou country has some unusually large mayflies that emerge over a fairly long period of time from June to early August. While the large Howard rainbows will take a dry Mayfly imitation, the success rate is usually spotty at best on the surface but I have had some great success using a nymph representing the Mayfly chironomid fished just off the bottom. I use a dry line with a 12 foot leader and cast toward shoreline weedbeds where the water is only 8 or 10 feet deep. There is usually a breeze so I let the wind slowly drift the fly over the bottom, or when calm, I use a very slow thumb and finger retrieve.

I saw Mr Oliver Edwards tie this fly some years ago, the only difference is the body, the original was deer hair, I changed this to a less buoyant material which I thought would be better as the fly is designed to fish along the bottom of the river, other than this small change, why mess around with a good looking and effective pattern

Trade Only

One day, when I was out having a particularly fruitless and frustrating evening trying to entice large trout in a local stillwater, having been through all the usual banker patterns, I opened the box of horrors and, in a fit of madness, I decided to try it. To my very great surprise it picked up a double first cast, followed by 12 other large fish. I have also used it on other occasions on different waters, when stalking fish, with a good response.
So, why does it work? It has a nymph like shape, movement and is highly visible to both the trout and the angler when stalking in clear water.
