Ok if you’re around Holtshier Rd. Bridge in March stop to look at the dead water just above the bridge and you might see 20 to 24 inch brown and rainbows coming in to feed on the tiny black caddis and black stone fly.
Catching them is another matter but seeing them is very exciting.
The end of April the Hendrickson Hatch and unfortunately usually high water.If we are lucky and the water is fishable use the dark hendrickson dry and the wet fly size 14 and 12. I have more luck with the wet fly and will catch fish 10 to 1 from the dry. use Adams grey for body, med to dark dun for tail and hackle and wood duck for the wing.
Expect the Hendrickson anytime from April 20, to the end of April.May brings the caddis and my favorite caddis the zebra.
You also have Ephemerella cornuta the largest of the Blue wing olives size 16 and 14. And of course the sulphers. My go to flies at the end of March and the month of April are the black bead head woolly bugger weighted and the gotcha nymph.
For the gotcha nymph see Flagg’s Tackle.
