I looked through my logs and noticed that on this day in previous years, I was seeing Mother's Day caddis hatches on the Clark Fork. We don't get monster hatches like the Yellowstone or Madison but we do get a solid showing if the conditions are right. This has been a unique year and conditions have not been right yet and I don't know If they ever will be, so far as fishing is concerned.

My old snapshot camera used to take great super-macro pictures like this old picture of a Mother's Day Caddis and March brown emerger. I can't wait to get a macro lens for my real camera.
The Easy Mother's Day Caddis
HOOK: size 20-14 (18-16 is best)
THREAD: 8/0 color to match dubbing
DUBBING: Hand blend Super Fine dry fly dubbing in natural colors (tan, olive, yellow, brown)
WING: CDC oiler puffs
THORAX: Dub some CDC and develop a small thorax over where you tie in the wing
This fly is a great fly for teaching beginners how to tie dry flies. This is a super effective fly and they are so easy to tie, you can do it while you are driving!
