FISHING REPORT 5/07/2007

[John Berry]

We fished Roundhouse Shoals in Cotter yesterday. We were looking for Sulphurs but did not see any. The caddis hatch occurred about 3:30 PM but was greatly diminished. In spite of that, we managed to catch quite a few on elk hair caddis.The adult caddis were a bit smaller (size 16) and they still had the bright green bodies. The hot fly was the elk hair caddis. We also caught fish on partridge and green and sowbugs. We caught several browns but no big fish.

John,

Are you using a green body on the elk hairs?

Terry,

Yes. That said, I am sitting here thinking about tying some for next year with bright green bodies. The ones I am currently fishing with are probably closer to olive. I did tie some earlier that had a peacock body with a bright green tag. They were killer but are all gone. The one thing about a two month hatch, you are going to burn some flies.
