The Mother’s Day Caddis are on time over on the Crooked River. Caddis pupa, emergers and dries can’t be missed. At some moments when the hatch is very intense it can be a challenge for the fish to find your fly to rise to. That is a good time to drift a soft hackle in the film as a trailer behind a dry fly, or swing the soft hackle for more attention and to show it to more fish than a single drift lane that occurs when fishing a dry fly.
Despite the caddis some of our FFP guides also reported quite good action on BWO 2 Bit Hookers.
Scuds, Ray Charles, Zebra Midges, Fire Starter Jigs, Rainbow Warrior Jigs and small Perdigons in Purple, Black or Green are good nymphs to fish too, whether tightline or with a NZ Wool indicator or an XS or Small Oros.
