right now in WI there are mostly caddis and mayfly hatches. what hatches are happening around you?
… from a nice menu.
Skwalas are still around and the fish will still come up for them.
March Browns are coming off steadily and the fishies are keyed in.
Some Mother’s Day caddis reported but I haven’t seen any or fished any caddis patterns yet.
Gray drakes in some of the rivers.
Midges, as always, almost everywhere at some time of the day.
A smaller black stone for which I haven’t memorized the name and which I haven’t tried to fish.
Another really small black stone that I’ve only seen a time or two.
BWO’s reported but I haven’t been seeing any recently.
Purple Haze - which is a local fly that people around here swear by. Just bought some purple Uni Floss yesterday to tie some up - basically a parachute adams with purple substituted for the gray body.
Won’t be long and we’ll be getting some PMDs, and Salmonflies are just around the corner, to be followed shortly by Golden Stones.
I’m sure I’ve missed one hatch or another for at least one major river or stream around here.

P.S. Desert will be served mid-summer. In the way of what may be the biggest grasshopper infestation in thirty years.
In southeast Idaho the hatches are ramping up. The lower Henry’s Fork is experiencing the infamous ‘Mother’s Day Caddis’ hatch as we speak, along with Blue-winged Olive mayflies. Shortly that section of river will experience the well-known Salmonfly hatch along with Gray Drake Mayflies. Two weeks ago the South Fork of the Snake experienced a premature Salmonfly hatch, and already guys are calling me a liar, but it was what it was and when it was. Normally the Salmonflies don’t start until the end of June into the first of July, go figure. Midges still are going on, but the fish will start looking up for something new.

Hendricksons are here
here in connecticut, you can almost set your watch by the yard sale hatch that happens every weekend starting at 8:00 am and lasting until 3:00 pm 
oh and yes the hendricksons are here too!
There’s nothing quite like a good yard hatch! lol. We have olives, blue quills & hendrickson’s (hennies are winding down). There have also been black & brown stones, smoky wing sedge, chamarra and brachycentrus is starting up. Several strains of midge as well. Bug stew is right around the corner!
i seen the bikini hatch and the short shorts hatch on the river yesterday
Snow hatch this morning. Will it ever stop this year?
Same here in east Idaho this morning - no wonder they call them ‘snowflies’…
Kelly.
Big Hunting Creek - yellow sallies and a few scattered caddis. Thought I saw one sulphur, but don’t quote me on that; no other mayflies observed. By the way, Wally Wiese’s Clacka Caddis worked well, especially on flatwater sections of the stream.

… got several snow hatches today. But the fish prefered rubber legs stonefly nymphs.

Another snow hatch expected here tonight, float boats on the Yellowstone looking for Mother’s Day caddis (too cold) we walked yesterday afternoon from the house a mile down to Mayor’s Landing launch site. 6 boat trailers waiting. We had four inches of snow two nights ago, some left in the shade.
I do remember that I have been snowed on every month of the year here (Livingston, MT altitude 5,600) It took a day or two to adjust to the O2 difference but fine now. For those who think the west is still uncivilized, we went to see Into The Woods last night at one of the TWO playhouses here. Very nicely done. The Nerd was playing at the Blue Slipper. Trav is cutting the lawn, maybe a picnic this afternoon.
Hugs,
