Caddis

[mike doughty]

so my boss shows me, this morning, a pic he took in city creek canyon of a caddis, which he said was about a half inch long. isn't a bit early for caddis?

My guess is it's a small winter stone.

Last friday (when it was 55) I saw an october caddis on the middle. Poor confused little guy.

See if your boss will send you the picture so you can post it here.

So it is a caddis. Now we need to find out if it's an early caddis or a late caddis. Then we need to decide if there are enough of them hatching that the fish will key on them.

I ski up Mill Creek a few times a week, and frequently see a larger caddis this time of year. Kind of an orange blond color, sz 10-12ish. In mid to late November, they are pretty prolific and visible all over the road. This bug is not the vaunted October caddis.

I had a lacewing crawling around on my tying desk recently. We have them all the time in the house in summer, but I've never seen one this time of year. A lot of people mistake them for caddis.

I'm sure that there are multiple members of this site who have the skills to photo shop a beautiful Salmon Fly or Cicada frolicking in the snow if they so desired as well... ;)
