Caddis were thick today on the Little Red River. I took my sister's boyfriend Lewis and my dad out today. We hit the water early and were fishing by 7:15 am. The sun came up bright. They threw some streamers early and Lewis caught a few rainbows. Dad had some cool follows, but it just didn't seem like a big bug day, especially when we got down to the shoal and the caddis were thick. I re-rigged Lewis with some of my favorite caddis emerger patters and the whacking began. Every drift they were hooking two fish apiece for a while. We had a great window of pretty low water and took full advantage of it, fishing the shoals and fast water. I would say it's safe to say they caught somewhere around 50 fish, nice rainbows and browns. It was a perfect day for making some memories with family on the river. It was all around a perfect day, I almost forgot I was guiding.
