First caddis of the year 3/25

SWPA finally cut the generation down to 1 unit Saturday at noon so I headed to a favorite shoal for that level of water. I started with an egg/midge combo and caught 6 rainbows in the first hour. I started seeing a few caddis floating by trying to dry their wings and then there were more. I tied on a foam body elk hair caddis and caught a nice rainbow on the second cast. The hatch only lasted about an hour, but it was fun fishing while it lasted. Caught 8 rainbows on the elk hair and missed quite a few more due to being a little too quick on the trigger for the hook set. After the hatch died out I went back to the egg/midge combo and caught a few more. Glad to see some low water and the caddis hatch starting.

Here's a couple of the better rainbows...

Nice chunky fish!
