Hosmer is getting a supplemental stocking of trout this week and that is a good thing. They will grow fast and be important for the fall and for next season. Callibaetis and Damsels are the 2 major hatches. Keep an eye open for Traveling Sedges (Caddis) and this is where you can hit them with a Tom Thumb or my Cascade Caddis and skitter both on the top to get smashing takes. Usually in July and most of August this hatch happens in the evening so make plans to get there to see that hatch on a warm summer evening. I like to show up about 2 or 3, usually hitting some afternoon adult action, and then fish the 2nd callibaetis emergence and stay through the big caddis. If you’re lucky and stay late, you should also get to fish Caenis mayfly hatches and test your skills on this obscure cousin of the more famous Trico hatch so many of us have actually heard of.
