The Crooked River is ramping up for the big Mother’s Day Caddis hatch, so it is time to make sure you have tan and olive pupa in a #16, Olive Soft Hackles, Peacock Soft Hackles, X Caddis and Elk Hair Caddis and Peacock Caddis and Henryville’s in a #16.
Scuds are another major staple now, and PMD Nymphs like a Split Case, Micro May, Brown Jig Napoleon and Brown 2 Bit Hooker will impress the fish I’m sure.
There are still a fair number of Blue Wing Olive hatches to be found, but this will dwindle as we move in to May and be overtaken by Caddis and then PMD’s for summer.
