Sep. 8 Tricos-n-stuff

I didn't feel the need to burn a tank of gas yesterday so I kept the fishing close to home and did a little bridge hopping. First off, I took a look at the Jefferson near Willow Creek just to see what was going on. I jumped out of the truck at Williams Bridge and found a light Trico hatch and a pod of mini trout feeding under the bridge, which just wasn't enough to get me into my waders and down the bank....So off to the Gallatin it was. My intention was to fish the lower part of the East Gallatin but it still looks like a milk truck crashed in to the river somewhere up stream. When I finally stepped in to the Gallatin I found trout feeding on Trico spinners and the occasional caddis in the tail out of almost every bucket and elbow in the river. Since I hate #20 flies and 6x tippet I opted for the Caddis patterns so I could see it and tippet strong enuogh that I can lean on if I have to and caught every 8" fish in the river.
