netboy Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I waded at Roundhouse Shoals this morning and had a fun trip. The caddis hatch has started and I am seeing more bugs every day starting around 9 once the sun warms things up. I ended the morning with around 20, all rainbows and 1 lone cutthroat. All were caught on top on a green foam body elk hair caddis. I fished the dam C&R area yesterday and saw very few caddis up there. It will probably be another week before they get going up there. I did get this nice rainbow.... Flysmallie, snagged in outlet 3, BilletHead and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of interesting sights as well as great food and wines.

Lshack2 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I really appreciate your reports and hope the best of Caddis are yet to come. Would you mind sharing what foam you use with your elk hair Caddis for the body? I’ve used 1mm Hairline for 16’s but only color options I’ve found is olive or chartreuse. Neither color really match the natural very well. thanks, Larry "All first-class fishermen on the Sea of Galilee were fly fishermen and that Apostle John, the favorite, was a dry fly fisherman..."Norman MacLean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also burn the end which gives it a nice looking tail. mikeak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
