OK, I’ll confess, there was one day on Leech when they were taking Callibaetis and my sparkle duns, and then later they were refusing my fly even though the real bugs were still around. I switched up to a leech, caught a fish, and sampled it. It was now eating little antish/waspy things. So...
My experience has been that parachute Adams work sometimes just fine, but may be refused at other times.
I’ve settled on sparkle dun in gray as an emerger taken without hesitation or refusal, and similarity, a gray cripple.

And now multiple species of orca are likely.
Interesting!

The last shot catches the act, and in addition to showing the hood in profile, reveals how it uses its tail to push down on the water to help raise it up for the dive, which I did not know. Good shot! Jay
very cool that you got the olive in the beak and pictures in the olive tree setting.
I took my visiting daughter around locally for some "nature" a couple of days before christmas.
at WE Johnson Park at the usual spot we saw up to a couple of dozen bluebirds.
Gray day, low light, high ISO long...
