Floated a 1/2 day today.  We knew we were up against the elements, namely a brisk east wind, rain, and no caddis.  Despite all that, the dry fly fishing was actually quite good during the less windy windows.  There were tons of March Browns and baetis on the water, but the fish were keying in on the bigger bugs.  We got quite a few trout to eat an elk hair caddis, I think you could have been throwing lime trudes and done just as well.  The visibility decreased some by the time we pulled out - maybe only a couple feet.  We through some streamers for a while and had a nice brown on for a while but he got into the fast current and spit the hook.  Another brown chased and pounced on a streamer very close to the boat.  No hook up on him, but he was THICK between the eyes!  Tomorrow looks tough for caddis but should fish like today with dries and streamers.
