Fished with a 9′ 5wt and a size #14 elk hair caddis. Fishing has slowed down a bit since July and August. Where normally I’d catch 10-20 of these little cutties, over the weekend I only caught about 8. After lunch they stopped hitting the dries, so I switched to an olive wolly bugger and tried my luck in some of the deeper holes. Ended up hooking a bigger one, probably close to 12″, but lost it trying to net. Either way, absolute blast of a day. I kept the mushrooms, but not the fish 🙂
By the way, chanterelles cooked with butter, salt/ pepper and thyme, on a crostini with ricotta and fresh honey… Absolutely incredible.
