		<description><![CDATA[The Spring Wiggler has been one of my main flies for steelhead and salmon.  I&#8217;m not sure if its because it does a good job of imitating Hexagenia nymphs, but I know one thing&#8230;.it works and it works well.  I remember a day out on a local stream in November.  It was cold and very [...]]]></description>

		<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[One of my favourite dry fly styles both to tie and fish is the parachute style. The parachute acts as an indicator for the fly, and thus allows you to see very small flies easily, and also allows you to see larger flies at great distances. Usually used to imitate the dun stage of mayflies, [...]]]></description>
