Fishing Report

Hello everyone had a full day trip today fishing started slow up at Texas Creek but came on strong at about 1100 using a QD Larva / Black thunder rig.Water temp at 1100 at Texas Creek was 50 degrees. We moved down into Canon and found caddis this afternoon. Fishing was hard but if you gave them a pupa on the swing they would take it. As for drys they are starting to get picky and you need a pattern like Larry's hi vis or the brachy adult. Curtis

It's obviously hard to say what the problem was. Sounds to me like you were doing the right thing if the fish were on Caddis. Don't forget that during April we have a complex hatch going on and in the section of the river, BWO nymphs were very active that day. Also, constantly be aware of the depth you're fishing the pupa. Start along the substrait by adding a small split shot and then bring it up gradually in the water column until you find the feeding depth. Somedays, it's just fishing.....
