[QUOTE=hairwing;394027]Just a thought I've had In my head for quite a while: Do you think GLF was influenced by Sid Gordon's book "How to fish from top to bottom".
Gordon describes " the silver bubble" and introduces the Swanson Wet- Dry series of flies which are so compatible with Gary's ESP patterns. I think they were on the same page, Gary and Sid, and Gary was offering up an answer to Sid's question : Who ever solves the kicking legs and the bubble has got it.[/QUOTE ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------It did, as GLF referred to the use of modern synthetics in Caddisflies, which Gordon would have found had he lived; to create the shiny bubble ! Looked through an old Hank Roberts Catalog from 1968-1970's & it only has 1 caddis fly; but vaguely remember the "cut off the tail of the mayfly pattern" advice back then to get a caddis as S Gordon did to get the tent like profile of the fly; which are all over Rocky Mountain streams.
