Notes

I started off nymphing with the copper john and various droppers. The pupa worked okay - I caught one rainbow and a couple whitefish fry on it. I also caught one or two whitefish fry on a #20 pheasant tail. As it got dark I moved down and tied on a parachute pupa pattern with a cdc pupa pattern dropper, and had two fish on but landed neither. Those were my only rises.

Hatch: #14/#16 light olive/light brown caddis
