F!"# $"%: Dark Tube-Bombers the perfect choice for big late runners. This Monster Tube-Caddis designed by the author is more a caricature than an imitation of the Limnephilidae caddis that it is meant to represent. An Owner ST-36 BC treble size 16 makes this fly dangerous. The real thing ! A big specimen from the limnephilidae family curing its wings. A nutritious meal to any trout or salmon.

Find the spot
A fl at and anonymous water sur- face will tell you little of possible holding spots for salmon. Given a bit of wind and wave you will see a build up of bigger waves where the water gets deeper. Down and up-stream of such a place could be a top spot for salmon.
Trio of big salmon resting on the riverbed. Biggest fish at an estimated 18-20 kg.
