Nicely done, Dave. Brings back good memories.

You should get out of that horrible city, John, and visit the Rapid for a week.

Envy is the desire for that which someone else has.

Jealousy is the belief that someone else has what rightfully belongs to
oneself, as for example a loved one.

You're envious, not jealous.

I had the best nights sleep for 3 -4 night on Richardson Lake on an
island
camppsite me and my bird dog Taylor
We, my wife , and I spent a lot of wonderful times @ Chesuncook and
Umbagog

I remember the small speckled brookies of all colors and the few we ate
were
unbelievable w carrots onions and eggs in fpil

Stay fishing, man
The world is nuts!

There are several island sites for camping Fred, and they all offer
some beautiful views and fishing. In addition there are two very close
to the river and on the same side. Both the Black Cat site and Comfort
Cove site are within a mile of the river. They are primitive sites (no
running water) and the bugs can get bad, but the fishing is good.

You ought to think about returning here some day.

Great report. Excellent writing. Thank you for sharing!

If you are still reading this thread and if you are
of a mind to, what went into your decision to
imitate a tiny caddis, as opposed to a midge or
a tiny stone fly/mayfly?

Experience.

The local fly shop is always trying to get me to
try small midges, essentially tiny colored hooks.
I have always had a funny feeling about them.
Your experience gives foundation to that feeling.

On the other hard, post Mortens on Rainbow I have
accidentally killed (barbless hook hit an artery)
have shows their stomachs to be full of tiny black
sticks, which I presume are midges

If it is not giving away a trade secret, which caddis
nymph did you choose? Any chance of a photo?

Many thanks,
