“I’ve never had a day when we didn’t catch lots of fish,” said Brad Frankhouser, one of 20 fly-fishing guides at Spring Ridge Club in rural Spruce Creek, Pa. “Some days are tougher than others, but if people do what I suggest, they’re going to have a great day.”

Frankhouser, who has been fly fishing for 24 years and guiding for seven, advised me to use a Number 16 Caddis Emerger and he pointed to a riff in Spruce Creek where he wanted it presented. The eye of the hook was so small it could barely be discerned without a magnifying glass. I seriously doubted anything that small could catch a fish worth reeling in. I was seriously wrong.
