Great detailed summary of the caddis lifecycle! I most appreciated the careful correlation of the types of flies that correspond to the various stages.

Again ... another great summary of the freestone Arkansas River in Spring and the "life that lies beneath the waters." Keep these great videos coming!

So educational and valuable! I fish the Lower Sacramento in NorCal. A more experienced angler I know said recently, "It's a caddis river." Lots of other aquatic insects for sure but based on the patterns that work for me...Thanks for this!

If you're going to the Arkansas, you should start your trip at Royal Gorge Anglers. They are legitimately interested in helping you catch more and bigger fish!
