Monocacy Creek, 5/14-5/16.

[gfen]

Water has been clear and cool, lower than median but at my preferred level (~80cfs at Illicks Mill).

Sulphur hatches are beginning in earnest, starting to become noticiable from 6-6:30. Heaviest after 7pm, tapering off with the light until I've left the stream at 8:30 each evening with sporadic feeding still occuring.

I can't give species information, but appears to currently be both "large" and "small" varieties, from sz 12 to 16.

fish keying in on the bigger or smaller variety?

You'd make it sound like I was catching them or something....

Smaller patterns seemed to do better than the larger. Yet, I inexplicably only tied larger ones last night. I do alot of dumb things.

FWIW, I found a little orange ball of dubbing seemed to help things out for me, as well.
