Lots of caddis in the afternoon today.  There was a period for about 1/2 an hour when the fish were snacking HARD on caddis.  The wind was dead calm, the sun was warming the rip-rap rocks, and the fish were like sharks in a chum line.  The rest of the float was relatively uneventful which isn't uncommon on bright days.  I suppose if we saw a blanket hatch they would have gone nuts, but most the fish we caught were smaller cuthroat and browns on a small caddis dropper - about a size 16.  We did get some eats on the big elk hair as well, but definitely not as many.  Huh - go figure.  Swept some seams with some streamers and picked up a nice rainbow but big daddy brown was still hiding from getting poked a few days before.  Wasn't a streamer day anyway, but it never hurts to practice if the dry fly fishing isn't red hot.  

With some sunny days ahead of us, this weekend should be killer.  I'd highly suggest getting out there before the mud hits.  The caddis should get thicker in the evenings, so see if the boss will let you off an hour early if you make it up next week...
