Too much Ernie?! Maybe so, but it wouldn't of been as much fun without him...He soaked the romantic side of our angling selves in lore.

I'd follow either of you to any stream whether you left the computer at home or not!
It's true.... Graylingites look forward to late May when we can start fishing the rest of the season with size 10's.....
What do we all think of Cheumatopsyche for the caddis as far as genus? Family Hydropsychidae as mentioned...As far as species I'd be in over my head...The "popcorn" label has been used, as far as I know, on at least two different caddis on the Au Sable, this one and a smaller light green/olive bodied grayer winged little one on the North Branch
Still no taker's though on my little green bodied caddis? :)
