Affectionately referred to as "The Mother's Day Caddis" this is most certainly not for the weak hearted, as at times the Caddis are so thick it is like a snow storm…which can be a bit annoying to those who don't appreciate Caddis Bon appetite! The emergence usually is ignited at about a 52 degree water temperature and is a mid morning to early afternoon occurrence. The emergence can be targeted with the classic wet fly swing using a variety of soft hackles and pupa imitations. The emergence can also be matched in the surface film on a dead drift with a variety of pupa patterns.

One of the key parts of the Mother's Day Caddis activity is actually post hatch where the trout key on the ovipositing egg laying Caddis activity. The game can be fairly simple other than the fact that your fly is one in a million on the water… Utilizing an Elk hair Caddis with a significant egg sack rendition off the back of the hook can be automatic.
