It Is Busting At The Seams

Oh my everything seems to be happening all at once, Grey Fox, March Brown, Crane Flies, Tan Caddis, Sulphurs and the stupid green thing. Talk about a complex hatch and stage of emergence and spinner falls to sort out and key in on what that fish you are looking to catch is feeding on? Again the best option is to stop casting and look at the fish the rise form will give you a clue as will putting your nose to the waters surface, but beware sometimes insects seem to prefer a part of the stream you may not be able to see. We found this years ago when we would see spinners on one side that had a good current flow and the other bank had minimal insects floating on the surface or emerging. Good rule of thumb fish Grey Fox and or March Brown emergers or wets during the morning and afternoon if the sun is not bright, followed by Crane flies (or fish a Walt's Worm all day) then Grey Fox spinners or Sulphur emergers, duns and maybe spinners depending where you are on the stream lower will have the hatches more advanced while higher upstream you might only see one or two species emerging at a time now, the cold and cloudy conditions will tend to slow them down and keep them on the water longer. Oh thrown a few splashy caddis rise forms to mess with your heads, use a LaFontain caddis emerger or a new bead head organzia caddis emerger but hold on to your hat the takes are hard and break offs are normal- Go Now!
