I talked to my friend Jerry C at Sherry Steele’s Birthday party this afternoon (BTW, this is why I’m publishing this report at 5 PM and started writing at 8:30 AM HAHAHA), who had very solid fishing at Wickiup. No big fish, but wild and well conditioned and fight like the dickens fish! On the day he went the fish were full of a Black/Olive Caddis Pupa and assaulted his nymphs. 
To me, that hatch is unlikely to be one to count on day after day, although I remember a trip to Sheeps Bridge with my freind Tim Q and we hit the same Caddis emergence.
