Genocide on Clyde

I also noticed how green the wee caddis grubs were so I changed my point fly for another small black bug with a green tag to see if it made any difference.

Size wise it was near identical to the cased caddis and I do think this is what the fish were on.

I was though thinking about this daft, frustrating sport of ours. I seen a few posts on one of those Groups that pops up on facebook of anglers new to the sport complaining that they had been out a few times and never caught a thing. Fly fishing is NOT an easy sport. If it was the easiest form of fishing, our angling shops and tackle emporia would not be able to move live or dead bait, spinners or other lures. Everyone would be fly fishing. You wouldn’t be able to walk by a stretch of life supporting water without being lashed by a fly line.
