Caddis flies everywhere!

This adventure was actually three weeks ago - before I became a super blogger - so don't go rushing down there with caddis as your only option.

Lots of caddis in the trees and under the trees crawling & swimming out of the water to the trees, and rocks and up our legs - flying around and falling back on the water - just dancing about.  I don't think it was the heaviest time or day of the hatch - sometimes there are so many the air is just speckled with them.  But there were plenty and had been for a while so the fish new all about it.  Here along the bank, especially under the overhanging branches there were fish lined up waiting for the little bugs to drift by on their way to the surface or fall from branches or from flight. 
Elk Hair Caddis and tan emergers - mostly Sarkle Pupae and just a little side arm cast to flip them underneath the trees, taking care to keep the line out of the faster current next to the target - drag free!
