My confidence patterns are tweaks of old standards. In my ongoing quest to be a better fisherman I'm trying to become better acquainted with the food I can expect a trout to see on the buffet line and to tie something that looks like said food. Took a white tray, and a kick net to the stream today and took some samples. Nothing in the air for the dollar store net.
There was a little black stone on the shithouse wall.
Being more aware of the green free living caddis, I had a Partridge and Green ready to go.
Which took the first fish. Love me a classic softhackle.
And based upon the stone flies, I fished a knuckle dragging golden stone on the middle dropper.
And a lightly weighted version of the simiseal stone I've been working on as a trailer.
And the fish liked both of those
