    Default Feather River caddis larvae

    After pounding the Feather and American this weekend, this is all I could catch...
    Impailed caddis larvae on a #18 Fox pupa.

    Did you feel the grab or were you indicator fishing
    More impressive still would be if you got it on the swing!
    Maybe you were sight fishing?

    Seriously, bait huh??
    The larvae hit with such force it overran the drag system and spooled me. I thought I lost him. Luckily, I regained my composure, held the tip up and regained control. A mightly battle ensued and after several jumps I was able to tire the mighty beast into submission. So glad I had a camera to prove it, I know it's hard to believe.

    At least I know the fly was @ the right size and color, huh??

    Default Right sized fly?????

    SOooooo,.... You're saying that fly is the right size Maybe you've started a new trend.... All flies have to be at least the same or twice the size of the quarry....
