Lots o' bugs and Bulls

There are quite a few bugs hatching here, so depending what time of day, where you are at and what type of water your fishing, you may see different things. The October Caddis are about and the BWO's are getting consistent. These are the two hatches that are fairly easy to figure out. The BWO's will be most prevalent from late morning to early afternoon, so those nice bankers hours. The October caddis seem to flutter about later, but fishing the pupa with a mayfly dropper under and indicator may produce throughout the day. The Kokanee should start spawning and dying off soon, so watch closely not to step on the spawning bedds. Look for the Big Bulls to feed actively on the dying salmon, so big white streamers are a good bet.
