		<description><![CDATA[Around the end of March, black stoneflies begin to emerge on rocks in streams.  This is also the time that steelhead begin to enter rivers in the spring to make their annual pilgrimage to their natal, headwaters streams.  Although most fish won&#8217;t be looking up for their food just yet, often they can be teased [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is a fast sinking, plump caddis larva imitation.  The bead can be just about any colour.  You&#8217;d be hard pressed to find a stream in Ontario that doesn&#8217;t have a healthy caddis population, so when you just can&#8217;t seem to find the right fly, toss one of these on and see if the action [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When caddis are skittering and flying about the streams surface, they tend to bounce around on top of the water.  I&#8217;ve noticed this tends to happen in areas where the water is flowing quite quickly.  Mimicking the behavior of caddis  at this stage in their lives, the egg laying stage can be a tough task.  [...]]]></description>
