Posts: 53		The Mother's Day Hatch appears earlier here in CA, generally in late March on the Lower Owens River in the Eastern Sierras. I have seen it as thick as those Caddis on the Madison in the video link above...

This is a pattern for the emerging Brachycentrus I use. It is a variation of Craig Matthew's Guide Serendipity that he created for the hatch on the Madison:

MOTHER’S DAY MUNCH (Caddis Pupa, Brachycentrus) - Matthews/Variant

HOOK: TMC 226 BL, #14 – #18

THREAD: UTC 70 Denier, Fl. White – Under Abdomen / Tiemco 16/0, Black – Thorax forward

ABDOMEN: Datum Glo-Brite Floss Fl. Chartreuse

RIB: UTC Wire, Gunmetal Blue, x-sm

WING: Marc Petitjean CDC, #5 White – * Two tips tied in opposed

THORAX: UV2 Dyed Peacock Eye, Black

I fish it from the bottom to the top of the water column...and does it work... :)

No matter how big the one you just caught is, there's always a bigger one out there somewhere...
