Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: targeting the crashing catfish

Grizzly has long held that the splashes were some of the shad were eating caddis on the river.  We took some #12 & #14 Goddard Caddis to the river and swung them for awhile.  We had a few slashes from hickories, but I think the emerging pupa elicit the right movement.  I never had the patience to keep trying.  Someone insisted once that the hickories don’t eat, yet we’ve caught them eating huge #2/0 Sea Habit flies while dredging for stripers.

Misha, I can verify that there were plenty of Caddis coming off the water when Thomas and I were out on Saturday. Also when I was out last weekend. Thomas mentioned your theory and, in fact, we did notice a few times when immediately after a splash, we'd see a Caddis fly off!

My theory on the crashing fish has always been that they are chasing caddis emergers. I've never been mindful enough to bring an imitation with me to the river, however. Would be stoked if someone decided to try my theory and actually caught something!
