This morning 6/6 I was fishing a low gradient spring influenced freestone stream in northern lancaster co. I use freestone loosely as the impacts of ag are apparent.
I arrived around 5:30 am the water temp was 64-65* and the fish were making big splashy rises all morning until I left at 8. I couldn't figure out what was hatching this early. I saw very small white insects fly on occasion and assume that's what they were feeding on. But I have no idea what they might be. Any ideas?
I did catch several on a size 20 PT variant.
When I returned to my truck I did find a lone caddis on the tailgate.
Recently mid day through the evening I have had good luck on this stretch with various caddis and comparadun patterns in the #14-16 sizes. Neither was working this morning.
I am kind of lost on what they might have been feeding on.
