netboy Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Took my wife out this morning and we waded up from Cotter access. We had minimum flow and there were some trout rising to midges and a few caddis. We started drifting with an elk hair caddis and the problem was with the slow current from minimum flow we weren't covering any water. I switched to an olive crackleback and things picked up. Long casts and stripping it back worked great. We caught lots of rainbows and 6 browns. We had many trout come completely out of the water when they hit. They were still hitting when we left around 11:00. Nothing huge today but still some nice ones... marcusearlt, Quillback, nomolites and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a couple wraps of lead wire on the hook before I tie them. dpitt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
