Caddis was the key

I tell you that it's Caddis time and it is! Fished the junction pool on Penn's the other morning, Elk & Pine keep it cooler than above Weikert. I arrived to a pair of Osprey sitting atop some of the dead Ash trees that line the banks of Penn's, they gave me hell for being there. It did not take long for the action to begin one here and one there, a size #16 or #18 Tan Bubble Back Caddis did the trick maybe not on the first cast but if you put it over them they ate it. I have noticed that in some conditions when you use the newer wide gap hooks it seems as if you come unhooked more often than normal or it might be that I'm just not reactive but it is something to be aware of. The unhooking seems to occur when a fish jumps or does the Chubby Checker twist under water below you! Did not see any spinners in the air, those dam Psedo's are not out just yet nor are the raspberries ready but the caddis are on. Total for the morning was 15 fish with 2 of them over 15", all nice and fat and colored up. I did not try an ants or beetles yet but that's the next outing on Spring Creek. You really need to try a dry dropper with a hopper or cricket and a #12-14 black wet ant under it, this is a killer duo. Stay away from Penn's below Poe Paddy because it just get too hot and with no rain all the trib's are running really low.
