I just read an article on spiders in Trout magazine....I enjoy fishing soft hackle flies very much, they produce, I have usually fished them down and across, letting them swing to the dangle, but the article says they should be fished with short casts upstream and dead drifted......I say whatever produces fish. Next time I am out fishing I am going to fish them the recommended way and see if it works as well as the article says.....i
if not, I'll just snag a few on streamers.....a new technique I learned recently on NEFF..........
Why do you call them Cabin Creek?

Down and across is the standard especially here in the US. The upstream method is also quite productive. I fish them both ways and like the upstream method on those slow unbroken pools.

Cabin Creek is a wild trout stream in CT.
