Rainbow on Caddis

I used my Fountainhead Caddis 360 yesterday (11-8-13) while fishing the Lower Illinois River in Gore, OK. I have previously caught bluegill and small bass with my rod but yesterday was the first time to catch rainbow trout. I was using a fluorocarbon line with a 6X tippet. I had a tan size 20 zebra midge on the bottom and a red size 16 midge above it. Caught three trout with this setup. What a hoot!!

As age slows my pace, I will become more like the heron.

We've all had situations where seriously chewed up flies kept catching fish after fish after fish. It is no sin to tie flies that come off the vise looking seriously chewed up.
