The X Caddis is not only an effective caddis pattern, it also doubles as a mayfly emerges. In this video, Ralph Scherder discusses how to tie and fish this fly.

If you're looking for a simple but deadly nymph that's easy to tie, this video shows what has become one of Ralph's go-to patterns and confidence flies.

In this video, we tie up one of George Harvey's legendary Pusher Flies. George Harvey, often referred to as the "Dean of Fly Fishing," created the fly fishing and fly tying course at Penn State University back in 1934, where he taught thousands of students over his 40-year career. The Pusher Fly has been used to catch many big brown trout at night, including Joe Humphreys's huge 15-pound brown that was once the state record.
