Interesting flies, but those weren't what I was expecting. A very common
fly in the Scandhoovian regions is a "Skating Caddis", something which as
of yet, seems rare in the shops I have looked into. The folks at LLBeans
had never even heard of it, yet it was the most productive fly at both
Lapland Claves I attended. I still use it as my 'secret weapon' when I
fish in New England because I'm quite sure the fish have never seen one
before.

For anyone interested in the tying instructions for this "secret
weapon".....

It is a good fly.



Oh yes, that's the one. I couldn't find a link to the exact one I have, but
its one that either you or Roger gave me last clave. I love that fly. Your
link will be bookmarked...
