Returned to the lake where I had so much action a week or so before only to find that they weren't so active. Of course I brought a friend who was hoping for the same. He got one on a foam boatman as we saw a few rising (and falling). Often, even though we see a hatch, it doesn't mean that putting one of those on is the most effective. I got four fish but on completely different dry flies and two on minnow imitations (Mrs Simpson and Orange HK. Actually the orange version of the Hammills more represents a shucked crayfish. Earlier that day, we tried another lake that has a significant Ladybug "hatch" around this time of year. It brings the fish up from the depths to feed on them. But alas, no luck.
