    Evening rise would just as much be caddis flies. I remember going into the Caltex in Dannevirke and the whole forecourt was alive with sedge one late summer evening.
    Willow grubs on the other hand will go all day. I watched a procession of trout the other morning feeding on the little buggers. I too need a better camera. Would have been very cool to video.
    The trout become very selective then and are hard to fool.

    It sure can be frustrating when they're on the willow grub. I remember countless hours watching large Hautapu browns sitting under overhanging branches gorging themselves on the little buggers and completely ignoring anything else.

    I use to tie lemon coloured thread on a #14 0r #16 caddis hook and fish it on a 15-20cm dropper under a Blowfly Humpy with reasonable results.

    That's pretty similar to what I tied less the foam bit and the thread came round the bend almost to the barb and had a little black thread for the head. I also used a more pale yellow.
    Be interesting to see how they go for you.

    The trouble that you fellahs go to for a fish. Whack a mouse on a hook. Sorted!

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Bomber at least fifty years ago I was fishing for eels in a similar way. First find road kill possum, next rip the guts open and throw it in the shallows and then stand by waiting with the old man's slasher. Whack. Off with the head
