Mother's Day caddis are coming soon.

This morning I went fishing at a close local stream for an hour before I went into work from 9am - 10am. Last night I went on a small hike by this stream at dusk to see if there were any caddis. Did not see any caddis on the stream but fish were raising and slurping up small midges. So, when I got to the stream this morning I tied on a size 14 chartreuse copper john with a trailing size 20 zebra midge. I caught 2 browns both fish ate the chartreuse copper john. I like to use the chartreuse copper john around the time of caddis hatches when the water is high. It gets the fish's attention when the water is a little off color and is a fairly good caddis larva imitation. Will be posting pictures soon.

Fishing the Weber

Fished the Weber yesterday between Rockport and Echo. Was slow starting out, started with fishing a variety of nymphs but only caught a couple of Whitefish. But when I switch to dark olive green streamers things changed. Landed six good Browns and missed many more. I was using a floating line with a weighted streamer. It was really cool because when the fish hit the streamer they would jump right out of the water.
