Caddis, Camping and Camaraderie in Colorado
Every spring they rise – by the millions it seems – so many it looks like a snow storm. They’re the caddis, moth-like bugs that suddenly hatch on, above and around the Arkansas River in Chaffee County, Colorado. For those who don’t fish, this swarm of insects is just an icky swat-these-pests-away phenomenon … but for the ravenous rainbows and browns who make this paradise of a river home? Oh my - pure buggy bliss! Naturally, for those lucky enough to fly fish here, the ‘hatch’ inspires nothing
