My gawd!!!! The dusk caddis hatches on the American this year are freaking unbelievable! I've personally never seen so many bugs.....on ANY river I've fished. It got so bad the other day at Elmanto, I couldn't stand it anymore. Caddis down my shirt/waders, covering my hat, face, neck, arms, etc.
And it's not just upstream......go down to the Paradise/Log Hole area....same deal.
I'm assuming the increase in bugs is due to the high, cool flows we've had this year. A few splashy rises around, but I think most fish are taking the emergers. The fish are getting really fat on these things!
