The Mother’s Day Caddis really started hatching yesterday. The hatch was really strong from about 1:00 – 7:00. But, the fish were not too interested in rising for the caddis until about 6:00, well at least in the upper flatlands near Cle Elum. Nymphing was productive all day, big stone flies and dark caddis nymphs. We sight casted to a few risers throught the day, but that was the only actio on top until 6:00, when there were pods of fish rising. It is tough to through a nymph rig when you are in the middle of a big hatch, but with thousands of natural bugs on the water and the fish aren’t rising they are feeding sub surface. Flies: # 14-16 olive x-caddis, #14-16 black graphic caddis, #4 Pat’s Stone (Brown), #16 cdc caddis emerger
