Saw fly on gooseberry bushes

it sounds like gooseberry sawfly, did you notic creamy-green caterpillars " plant it out it should recover,next year look out for those caterpillars they will be about an inch longe pick them off or spray with derris, bifenthrin,as soon as you see them and repeat as necessary betwen late april and august just look out for the bliters.

Thank you. Will try all these!

This is the first year I've seen no caterpillars. I usually pick off the wee orange lumps off the leave, which I thought were where the caterpillar eggs are layed and protected, although they can't wipe off like eggs. I rip the patch off the leaf to save as much leaf as possible. I still get goosegogs and the plant still looks healthy. Am I mad????
