             David Jayne and David Cory with a 20 1/2" brown

The caddis hatch was in full swing today.  We floated through town and saw quite a few people hooked up.   At times the fish were up and eating caddis steadily.  We also caught some fish on parachute March browns.  David Cory caught the best fish of the day, a beautiful 20.5 inch brown.  We pulled in below the fish and must have put 20 casts over his head before sticking him with a Butch Caddis.   The cutthroat were happy and eating dries, we probably saw close to 50 rises, and while we missed quite a few we definitely had some hot dry fly action.  Then the wind blew us away and the fish turned off hard.  The bonus of the day was an 18 inch brown that David caught on a streamer 20 feet from the take out.  If that doesn't prove "it ain't over till the fat lady sings" I don't know what does!  The water clarity was great - at least two feet at Carter's.  We hear there may be some mud coming, so give us a call in the morning to check on the current conditions.  I have a feeling the Stone will fish great tomorrow...
