Guest Report post Posted May 25, 2005 Blueman89 , I found it about 5' from the water's edge. Rougetrout, it was about 3/4" long. There were quite a few dried by the sun on the rocks after the water went down. Leak Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted May 26, 2005 There was a decent hatch going on that day, in fact that is the first mayfly hatch I have seen on this stream. There were at least two different species that I seen, one was a dark brown(almost black) and the other was a creamy yellow. Couldn't get close enough to catch one but they were on top the water and fly through the air all morning. There was some smaller fish(I'm guessing gills) that I seen take a few on top.
