Fishing Conditions
The Caddis have arrived and today is the first day that they have made a big impact on the fish. Fishing caddis emergers was the ticket today. First noticed caddis about mid afternoon and quickly switched to the emerger. The fish have moved looking for caddis and are now on some of the faster water right tight to the drop offs. We caught several fish in the bouncy caddis water. This is just the start and it is only going to get better and better as the week goes on. Skwalas still around and the fish are looking for them as well. May flies have slowed down in the bright sun.
