Brown Drakes, PMDs and Caddis on the Red Deer River


Brown drakes have been emerging in the last week on the Red Deer River as have PMDs and caddis. Brown trout, goldeye, whitefish will all gulp down these tasty treats. Last night brown drake spinners were all along the walking trail close to the Red Deer River as were PMDs and caddis. Brown drakes are usually an evening hatch although I have witnessed them hatching during the day too! I love this hatch and so do the fish on the Red Deer River. In the space of 30 minutes, I could see fish on the Red Deer River at 9 pm gulping down duns on the water. It is time to lose a little sleep and fish the evening rise. There are some excellent rewards to be found!
