Made a trip to a friend's camp in the middle of the week, and was pleased to see that an overnight storm put a lot of water into some Catskill streams. We stayed dry, but got to take advantage of the higher flows in some cold headwaters. Had a fine day catching numerous wild brookies and one brown, all on dry flies. Also got a chance to snap some pix with my new camera which takes underwater photos. I still need practice framing fish underwater, so I guess I'll just have to keep fishing more with the cooler weather 
Brookie under water.
Only 1 brown caught here.
Here's a mayfly that landed on our cooler while having morning coffee at he Covered Bridge campsites on the upper Willo. The fly is about a size 14. Grey wings, tannish body, 2 tails (1 a bit broken). The color in the picture is pretty accurate if it was more saturated. I'm thinking Pale Evening Dun even though this isn't their prime emergence time. Any thoughts on what it is?
