Nostalgia: For those who admire Gary LaFontaine
I came across this old video that highlights Gary LaFontaine and his most popular caddis patterns. It also has cameo appearances by Mike Lawson and Jack Dennis.
Gary shows how he tied his flies as well as the reasoning behind their design.
In it, he mentions the trade name of "Dazzleaire" as one of the trade names used for the sparkle material he used in his patterns. Also highlights the "touch dubbing" technique that he used.
I thought some who are not familiar with LaFontaine and his thinking/tying would get a lot out of this old video.
