These are two adult Caddis patterns which were developed by Yellowstone area tiers which I have found to be quite useful in the Eastern Sierras...

This pattern, again, developed by Matthews, imitates the adult. The waking post adds to the fly's effectiveness when swung, and skittered.
Both are successful in waters draining out of the above mountains...
