Another good day at Cotter access 5/19

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...

Nice, you throwing floating line with leader to the Crackleback?   Apply any weight or use sinking leaders/line?

I use a couple wraps of lead wire on the hook before I tie them.
