Pardon me, sir, if this is a breach of archetypal dry-fly technique. There is no delivery far above the trout, no long, drag-free float. On the next cast, I break again from tradition, drifting the fly toward a fish, then skittering it for motion and life. My reason for the off-beat, aggressive approaches? I'm not casting the time-honored erect-winged mayfly--I'm fishing an imitation of the prosaic caddis.
