<\/a>The caddis KaBoom! happened and the Sulphurs got rolling. The first warm days after a cold spell often make good things happen and the yellow sun did its part to make the yellow bugs explode this week.<\/p>\nThere\u2019s too many different caddis on the water to list them all singly. The troop would better be served by a credit roll at the end of a blockbuster mini-series, but the popcorn caddis would be in the biggest and boldest fonts.\u00a0 Those light olive bodied flies that look white in flight emerge thickly on sunny days and bounce on the water seductively like popcorn kernels bursting under low heat in the pan.\u00a0 Trout love them.\u00a0 And though there are other caddis species in the mix with different colored bodies, this group of insects doesn\u2019t spend enough time on the water for the trout to make scrutinized decisions.<\/p>\n
The trick to caddis fishing is simple and really fun. Fish your fly If you really want to increase the numbers on your fish count clicker, tie a second fly off the bend of the hook. Soft hackle droppers behind an olive stonefly this time of year can double your odds.\u00a0 Leave the wet fly about a foot beneath the dry fly and then just fish the dry like you normally would but be aware that now the dry fly not only But that\u2019s not all. We still have some lingering Hendrickson spinners and black quills in the air and the little mahogany spinners will show up on these warm evenings.\u00a0 Not to mention that the Sulphur spinners are about to take over the evening rise.\u00a0 There\u2019s so much happening now that it\u2019s hard to cover it all.\u00a0 You may just want to see it for yourself.<\/p>\n Whatever you do, get to a stream this week whenever you can steal Brave the construction and come to the shop\u2014it\u2019s not that bad and I really hope to see you all soon,<\/p>\n Andy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Old Au Sable Fly Shop Fishing Report The caddis KaBoom! happened and the Sulphurs got rolling.
