16: The Mayfly Mystique and Saga - Trout Selectivity and Matching the Hatch from the Meniscus to Benthos - Special Guest: Al Caucci

Don’t miss this one! Hallowed Waters Podcast/Journal publisher Matthew

Supinski hosts special guest Al Caucci in a highly informative podcast for all you

dry fly and hatch chasing Trout Bums and bug addicts. Al is the Catskill and

Delaware River living iconic legend who authored “Hatches” and invented the

Compara-Dun series of mayfly imitations, along with the Spectrumized color and

tone concept to matching the hatch. He is the elderly mayfly maestro of the

mesmerizing hatch matching magic from the dry fly, emerger and spinner

meniscus, to the nymphing benthos. This Italian American Latin bug master has

devised a pragmatic and meticulous hatch matching system from the minutiae, to

macro and to the manicotti with his worldly love for Italian food and country. This

guy catches big selective Catskill and Montana trout with the seduction of a

sorcerer’s spell casted in the form of a Compara-dun. Together with Supinski they

discuss matching the hatch through the seasons, selectivity by trout to fly design

and all the nuances and peculiarities to fooling wild fussy trout in every venue and

destination.
