Cinnamon Caddis Part 4 Adult

Tue, 04/10/2012 - 09:45 -- jmaslar

Many anglers fish the adult imitation of the caddisfly during a hatch when they first begin to see the adults around the banks of the stream. That is a mistake. Although these caddis sometimes dip down and skitter across the water after hatching, they don't really lite on the water long enough for the trout to eat them until they begin to deposit their eggs, or the males happen to fall on the water when they die. Unlike mayflies, caddisflies sometimes live a relatively long time after they hatch. They can live for a week depending on the species and weather.

These caddisflies need plankton to survive and acidic, freestone streams that have little plankton are about the only trout streams that doesn't have them. To make this simple for you, consider this. If you find the rocks in the stream you are fishing are slick, and you have trouble wading without slipping, you can rest assured that there will be a good population of net-spinning caddisflies in the stream. In the Eastern United States and parts of the Mid-west, most of these net-spinners will be Ceratopsyche species, which are the Cinnamon Caddisfles.

As with most other caddisflies, the main problem you face is determining when the hatch is taking place. When you see adult cinnamon caddis around the stream, flying and in the trees, grass and bushes, you don't necessarily know if they just hatched on hatched a few days earlier. Some stay out of the water for a few days before they deposit their eggs. Even when you see them on the water and darting down to the water, it doesn't necessarily mean they are laying eggs. They will do that before they deposit their eggs on occasions.
