I don't know so much as about warm water, but along at least the East Coast trout streams that I am aware of we have vast numbers of tiny green caterpillars that are active right now and up through the next few more weeks. They cover the trees as the leaves first unfold in the spring when they are the most tender and nutrient dense. They are often seen dangling like a spider from a tiny thread of silk. If you park under a tree it will become immediately clear just how prolific they are. Trout love them, and the most popular pattern out here is called the green weenie. On streams with tight canopies it is worth trying this pattern first from early spring right up until early summer.
