Rick,
Congratulations. I am envious. Your timing must have been right on. I saw this same thick caddis hatch yesterday in the Warren Glen section and the action was nil, at least at mid-day. Also saw it last week at Asbury up and down the entire stretch, including the Blue Chair/Upper Farmhouse pool. There were a few rises but they were extremely sporadic and certainly nothing like you’d expect given the blizzard of bugs. Yesterday I did catch one small fish (a state-stocked brown) with a bead-head caddis emerger at the end of the swing. Maybe if I’d tried that last week it would have garnered some interest, but I doubt it. Fish are mysterious.
