Chris, Sweet man. I heard the caddis hatch downriver a ways was very good Saturday evening. Wish I hadn't missed it. Did you just fish the stretch right below the dam? I haven't fished much there in awhile. I fished it briefly in June and a couple times last winter when the black flies were thick. Did y'all get into anything sizeable? The best I've done right there is about 12 inches. They sure are thick there though. Were the fish as picky on the midges as they were in the shallow water?
We fished just about every public access point we could find on Saturday, including right below the dam on our way back to camp. The fish were still pretty picky there, even though they were jumping out of the water left and right. I landed a couple before it got dark...here was the bigger of the two.
And here's one of the bigger fish from earlier in the day, hit a caddis immediately in super shallow water. Not quite as chunky as that fish in your last pic!
Makes me wish I had untangled that dropper.
