excellent report, David!! What always strikes me, though, is your use and
success relying on such small stuff. Is the Rapid just rife with smaller
caddis species? If so, the shorter warm season you all have would give the
river a plethora of caddis larvae about this time of year. Still, one
envisions the flies from the 'classic' days up that way. My mind goes back
to the stuff in that Carrie Stevens book you kindly gave me. Not small
stuff, even the flies designed for river angling. Just another example of
the multitudes of variables in this thing we generalize by calling 'trout
fishing'........

....i watched canadian peter fling streamers that looked like the fender
from a buick and catch some nice brook trout in the stretch of the rapid
below pond in the river and the old historic dam building (no longer
there).

my best day ever on the rapid was just after 9/11 using a 14 elk hair
caddis on the other side of the river, walking and fishing upstream in
carolina fashion...well, there was also that one day daytripper and
peter tied up a bunch of size 22 "nits", shared a few with me, and we
caught salmon after salmon in one of those slower side runs on the
opposite side of the dam...amazing. very selective fish. my first time
ever fishing small flies. toss in an 18 parachute adams, nada...then a
24 nit, wham! beautiful and interesting place. you should go there some
time Tom...louie is a great host and a willing guide on his waters. and
lakewood is a comfortable "rustic" place with good food.

Ah, but it is. And, getting better. Donna is a very dedicated chef
and her salads, soups, and sandwhiches are to die for. Dinner is the
non-fishing hightlight of the day.

AND, if wayno knew of the four very beautiful 18 - 22 yo Polish girls
who are the waitresses, dish washer, and cabin girl, he would be up
here tomorrow. To hell with the fishing! d;o)
