The only thing left should be foot prints.
We had a great week in the Adirondacks. Water was in the lower 60s and the flow was above normal. The fish would pile up in the eddies and calmer current to get some refuge from the high fast flow.
I caught a lot of fish most were small wild Browns. All the small Browns were taking small black (size 20) and brown Caddis (16 to 18s). The larger fish wanted no part of the tiny Caddis. They were focusing on bigger flies. A size 12 olive Caddis Pupa with a dun CDC collar and a size 10 Long Tail March Brown Emerger. Both were hot all week. The March Browns would come off heavy in the evening. The fish wanted nothing to do with the Duns. I would fish The Long Tail MB with a lot of weight to get it down fast. When it hit the bottom, I would lift the rod picking up the Emerger slowly through the column. They were smacking the rising Emerger.
I have some video that I was able to capture.
Here is the first video.
