While fishing the local stocked stream for dinner I was having moderate success on elk hair caddis but the hatch was sporadic at best and dwindled to none but the fish were still sipping flies off the top. Thinking midges my luck bottomed out and out of desperation I tied on an elk hair caddis that had a peacock herl body and first cast had one on. I limited out and headed home with my dinner and while cleaning them found them to be stuffed with Japanese beetles. They never even crossed my mind but the peacock herl made a pretty close match for that iridescent green body.
