August 6, 2008 - Steve Hoovler

Spruce Flies have officially infested the area. Everything from my truck to the Dairy Queen in town is covered with these little moths. They're also blanketing the Madison River in stretches that are even remotely close to an evergreen. This picture looks just like a swarm of caddis, but it's a group of moths that we saw below Lyons bridge this morning.

I floated with a fun mother and son from Colorado today, and we had some nice fish eat moth imitations right off the bat this morning. As the day grew on and the wind puffed up, we switched to nymphs and finished strong.

Thanks Anne and Connor. We'll get 'em again on friday.
