We headed out to the Yellowstone in search of the caddis hatch, and it started off promising on a float from Carter’s to 89. Some decent action on caddis pupae, and spotty streamer action, and cloudy but warm conditions. Then as a front moved in, the wind kicked up to almost unfishable levels, and the caddis were just never brave enough to show up. It was so windy it was even hard to position the boat well. Still a fun day, but not superb fishing, and from what we heard from others’ reports, it was pretty tough for everyone.
