Caddis Action!

My buddy and I woke up at the crack of noon and fished until dark between Warm Springs and Trout Creek on Tuesday. The hot weather made fishing conditions fantastic for caddis, and we fished dries all day long. We fished tree lines while the sun was high; focusing our efforts on stalking fish in the shade next to the banks. The trout are smart this time of year, so the presentation of the fly must be as close to the natural as possible. General Caddis dries like elk hair's and x-caddis' drew most of our strikes during the day, and we were lucky enough to get some PMD action in the evenings. Be prepared to work for your fish, these trout know whats up, so don't get down if the fish aren't cooperating, just move on to the next tree. The most important piece of advice I can give is stay out until the sun is off the water! The fish and bug activity increases during this time, and it can be epic in the evenings.
