Thanks for the report, Alan.
I am glad I wasn't the fellow from NY crowding you, but am sorry that I am a fellow from NY who wasn't fishing the Farmington last night.
When I was there the weekend before, the trout during the 3:30 pm dorothea hatch didn't mind my 5X. These were larger fish than those I could catch in the after-8pm dorothea and olive hatches--those little guys wouldn't take my fly until I went down to 7X. Lucky for me it wasnt' the other way around: I didn't break any fish off.
On my local tailwater, the East Branch Croton, I haven't seen a bug other than midges in the last week, yet am still able to take the "sippers" in slow water. Glad to hear you still have hatches to match!
