Fly pattern
Align the elkhair fibers and the hook eye to tie this fly. Then cut the fibres to desired length. After you've decided the length, wrap two or three loosely around your hackles. Finally, secure them to the hook with loose twists. Wrap the remaining elkhair over the head of hook. The hook should have an eye that is flush with the hackle.
The length of the wings
The length of an Elk hair caddis Wing should be equal to its hook gape. When you tie the elk's hair wing, make sure to get the bottom hackles as close as possible. Many tiers recommend that the wing be tied with stiffer hair, even though the original fly was made using Hare's Mask dubbing. Softer hair will flare up too much.

How To
How to Fish in Freshwater
Freshwater fishing involves the capture of fish from freshwater sources like lakes, rivers, streams and ponds. There are many types of fish that can be caught, including bass, carp and crappie, trout as well, walleyes, perch, pike (muskie), eel and many other species. These species can be caught in a variety different ways. Trolling, trolling, trolling, spinnerbaits and flyfishing are all popular methods.
The first step when trying to catch any type of fish is finding a good location where fish are likely to be found. This usually means choosing a place close to the source of your water supply. Next you must decide what kind of equipment you want to use.
Live bait should look like food to fish, so that they will eat it. You can use live bait such as worms and minnows, insects, grasshoppers, bloodworms and leeches.
You can also use artificial lures, baits made out of plastic, wood, feathers, rubber, metal, foam, and other materials. Artificial lures are available in many sizes and shapes. Artificial lures are designed to mimic natural prey animals such as minnows or crawfish, shiners or grubs, as well other aquatic animals. People prefer to use lures as they don't require any skill to cast them in the water. Easy to set up, and easy to retrieve when they reach their target.
Casting might be something you want to do if live bait is not your thing or you want to try out new techniques. Casting can be one of the easiest methods to catch fish. It takes very little effort and requires no special skill.
All you need are a rod and reel, line, sinker, floatant and hooks. You can cast with just a pole. In order to cast you simply hold the rod vertically above the surface of the water. Slowly lower your rod so it touches the water. The line will begin unwinding from the reel once it reaches the water. Once the line has reached its maximum length, release the rod and let the lure drop back into the water.
Trolling is another technique for catching fish. Trolling is a technique that uses a boat to move a lure through the water.
Fishing can be fun and rewarding. There are many kinds of fishing and each one has its advantages and disadvantages. Some methods are easier to learn than others but all require patience and practice.
