With warmer days in the fall the mayfly and caddis hatches have been
scattered throughout the day. It seems the best surface action is happening between 9:30 and 1:30 on those days. This would depend greatly on the path of the sun and the watershed you are fishing. Last Sunday I had a 15 year old hook 22 fish on a dry mayfly pattern in 2 1/2 hours and landing 17 of those fish. The rainbow were fat, firm, and very active. In the afternoon the activity began to slow as the sun left the water and the fish became more deliberate on their takes, drifting up to 10 feet along side the fly before they took it or refused it. Get out there on those warmer days, fall at its best! Good luck!
