Not much happening when we got there, maybe a rise or few. I missed a take swinging a P&O and finally hit home a couple swings later. We fished so much holding water on our way downstream with little success. During the last hour of daylight the temperature started to drop as it does this time of year when the sun tucks behind the mountains for the night. Caddis started to move upstream and trout started to rise. At this point I had on a Red Tag wet fly and maybe picked up a fish with it so, I decided to go back to double rigged P&O's.
I immediately found success with a nice brown who actually shook the fly which in turn caught his pectoral fin. I hate that. But the fish was no worse for wear. I waited for William to make his way down to me while watching him cover pockets and seems like nobodies business. Watching the caddis flutter around I grabbed one to take a look at. Upon inspection I noticed a yellow abdomen with that signature tan caddis color for a thorax and wings. When I got home I sat down and came up with this.
I have this on a Daiichi 1510 #14 which I believe is an egg hook with an extremely short shank. I find that it's very appealing to me. Hopefully the fish agree.
Dubbing is a mixture of a spectral wool and some chadwicks sub wool called Borroco. Which William gave me samples of. Nice stuff.
