Caddis still coming off 5/14

[netboy]

My wife and I fished Bull Shoals Dam area this morning and lots of caddis were hatching along with some sulphurs and midges. The trout were popping everywhere. Didn't seem to matter which dry fly as long as it had a green body. They started coming off around 8:00 and it lasted until 11:00. I was really surprised to see this big of a hatch this late in the year.

Here's a couple of pics...

Better pic of the brown. He had a deformity in his backbone towards the tail. Still fought like a champ with many "clear the water" jumps.

I’m still hoping that the hatches will continue to improve. It hasn’t been a cold water stream all that long.

Well not so much this morning...

We went back this morning and with the cool temps and spotty rain there was not much of a caddis hatch.

We did catch some using ruby midges under an indicator but nothing picture worthy.

I made a quick trip to Rim Shoals this afternoon and caught some on a crackleback.  Probably ended with a dozen.
