Hi All
This evening I went to a favorite spot on the river
and stayed there until it was dark ( 9:45 pm ). There
was a good number of mayflies of some sort laying eggs
in the water as it got dark. Also some caddis along
with a few black flies.
There was a lot of activity under the water as hungry
fish gobbled up the feed. Look like Salmon Parr, trout
and perch to me but just guessing. I was concentrating
on larger fish at the time. Never know when a
pistorical monster will come along under these
conditions.
About 9:30 out came the nighthawks, one at first up to
6 at the end. They really came very close to me
prehaps as close as a meter. They flew just at the
level of the water and it looked as they were picking
spent flies from the water. With the fog making
everything sort of filtered it was fun to see the
nighthawks. Really beautiful birds when seen up close.
On the way back to the truck, a few bats were feeding
along the bushes by the shore. No doubt the flies were
there also.
Enjoy the last of spring
Paul
