Caddis "Reverse Hatch" is imitated by LaFontaine's Sparkle Pupa?

PT: Exactly right about Charlie Brooks. His book ""The Henry's Fork" still one of my favorites.

I would say I'm of the mind that yes they rise with entrapped air, but from what I've seen and read, they swim up, not pulled up by the air bubble. To be honest though. on the other question, I fish the hatch like I find it. Don't think too deeply into it.

So, clarify something for me....is the question whether or not ascending pupa create an air bubble as well as an egg laying female? Or whether the two can occur during the same time periods?

This is why I get so confused with Caddis flies.

Slowly re-read Chapter 2, "Creating the Effective Pattern", ppgs. 21- 68...in GLF's Caddisflies...there is a lot of good stuff in there that, prior to this thread, I seemed to have overlooked...

Most people would get a lot out of reading the chapter on caddisflies, in "Challenge of the Trout", Gary first book.

A lot of good info in "The Caddie and the Angler". I'he read most of Gary's stuff....great works. But in the end....fish what is hatching.

Agree with you. Never understood folks who don't read the classics written about their passion. Although Gary did not like that particular book of his.
