Fishing isnt about catching fish, its not about who caught the most, or who caught the biggest, its about the experience that you have on the water, and the life long bonds you make with others on the journey to becoming a better person inside.
Way to go get em. Were those caddis free already or did you pluck them from their cases? I am gonna try and find some of those this weekend hopefully. Beautiful section of river there.
Rgloft, No. Cole, The caddis were cased in fine pebbles and every rock in the riffles had dozens of em ! The scar is from a knife accident, Completely cut the nerve so there very little feeling in that hand. Takes extra patience sometimes to do things like tie a 6x blood knot.
This time of year before the big hatches you can use a cased caddis pattern like Bill's stick caddis. I know Cole has a few in his fly box. There are also a few patterns that use two hundred rubber legs on a hook. The Sierra is fishing well! I saw Walter on the EC this weekend, he was dangling on the end of size 22 midge...

Was at Putah the other day and saw the same thing, tons of them in tiny little pebble houses all of the rocks.
Hey Shaun - is that the Middle Fork of the Stan. Kinda looks like it. Below the res we know and love? No water fluctuation now, right?
I was on the NF Yuba last week and it has been a while since I have seen so many Oct Caddis around. And they are moving around like crazy. Yep, this fall is going to have epic OC hatches.
A Flying Circus will rock! And check out this "life like" OC adult. That's detail.
