Fly fishing in the rain

Hi folks, Spent a really good day of fly fishing up north in the rain.  Water temperature was 58 degrees and the river flow was well below the seasonal average.  Clarity was good.  Saw a tremendous hatch of #14 green bodied caddis with a tan wing.  A few #12 March Browns, but the caddis were the meal of the day.  Not too often that you get situation where Landlocked salmon are eating dry flies like crazy.  We could watch the salmon rise and slash at hatching caddis.  We did nymph fish a bit and one of the better salmon of the day was a  18" silver bullet that ate a #14 hare and copper.  The most productive rig of the day was a #14x-caddis with a caddis pupa dropper.  You could see the salmon swing to eat the dropper and when the rose of the dry there was no doubt about the take.  Had a 16" male steelhead absolutely cream the x-caddis by swimming downstream and sticking its entire head out of the water to eat.  The fish of the day was a 20" plus silver steelhead that gobbled up a #10 smelt imitation.  What a fish.  You can call them steelhead or lake run rainbows, but these fish can fight.  One of the bigger rainbows I will see this season for sure.  It is really important in the water we were fishing to have good knots the right tippet 3x and 4x and put relentless pressure on these fish.  If they race out of the pool you hook them in, you are done.  We landed 8 salmon and 2 steelhead.  We missed another half a dozen salmon.  Going to warm up and be sunny over the next few days so I will be fishing early and late.  Hatching bugs right now are #14 Grey Fox, #12 March Browns, #14/#16 caddis, #14 yellow sallies and I have seen an assortment of stoneflies.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  Have Fun, Willy
