Notes
As a result of my laziness and tieing on and adult as a dropper of a sparkle pupa (see previous log on RoCr) I caught 6 on a drowned adult elk hair caddis fished 1-2 feet below the surface, the pupa pulled the elk hair down. Didn't catch anything on a surface adult or on the pupa.
All but one caught in section below first run. Best fish of the day was caught in a run downstream.

Were you able to see the fish hit the submerged adult or did you just see the strike indicator dip/move?
One thing I'd like to work on with caddisflies is tying the diving caddis adult. Many adult species of caddisflies (not sure which ones) dive through the water column to lay their eggs directly on the bottom, as opposed to the caddisflies you see ovipositing by bouncing on the water surface. LaFontaine has a diving caddis pattern that's supposed to emulate the air bubble trapped between the adult's wings as she dives. I'm wondering if the trout were thinking your caddis adult with a diving female, of if they just thought it was a drowned adult.
