Some fishermen just prefer to stock their boxes with Woolly Buggers and maybe some other patterns in different sizes and colors, thinking that a good day in the water has something to do with the amount of fish they caught.There are other fishermen that get bored when fishing the same fly all day, and begin experimenting with new designs. They give importance both to the technique and fly they use. Presentation is always important, no matter what fly one chooses.One of the most representative adult insect groups to imitate is the caddis (tricos). I’m going to show the instructions on how to tie a Parachute Caddis, a high visibility fly that was originally created by the Californian guide and fly tier, Ed Schroeder.
