Nissitissit revisited

We took another crack at the Niss. This time we fished above the Prescott Street bridge. The river recently had a hefty canoe stocking of browns and rainbows. This method introduces fish all along the river rather than a simple mass dumping into a couple of pools. We made our way downstream and eventually spotted some trout rising. I switched from a weighted nymph to a big elk hair caddis and immediately got a hit which I promptly missed by a country mile. I eventually lost the elk hair and decided to go with a royal wulff which produced the results below.
