Set a Hook
When the bugs start hitting your windsheild like thousands of winged raindrops, you'll know a hatch has begun. And while the famous burgeoning of insects on the Arkansas River is puported to happen around Mother's Day (hence "the Mother's Day caddis hatch"), the melee often begins in mid-April. Set up shop at the San Isael Bed and Breakfast, just outside of downtown Salida, pull out your favorite black foam caddis fly, and wet a line - the Arkansas rushes just a short car trip away. www.sanisabelbandb.com.
