Brown Drake Spinner Fall
Last night's Brown Drake spinner fall was a spectacle. We usually have one super heavy night and last night was it.

Silver Creek Brown Drake
Ok, I know the Brown Drakes are done on Silver Creek for the year, but here's one more. I can never get enough of this hatch. When it all comes together and the spring air is warm and the wind lies down and miniature submarine wakes crisscross in the water and an emergence starts and spinners start to swarm in the air and it gets a little frenetic and the next hour and a half you never want to end.
