Ant hatch before the floods

[rocklobster]

After seeing the ant hatch in the Stafford to Enfield area on Friday afternoon on my way home, I just had to get one more trip in to the Farmington before Ireene spoiled things. I have never seen anything like it on Friday. Any one else notice all the flying ants? Well I got to the river around 7ish and fished above the upper TMA saturday morning. I started with trico's and had few interested but, fish were rising to something else. As I was pondering my choices it started to drizzle a bit and the fish started to really rise. The harder it rained the more active the feeding. Thats when I realized that the creepy crawly feeling on the back of neck was not rain running down my back, of course I left the rain gear in the truck, but the ants were still hatching. And alot of them!!! The fish wanted a size 22 but all I had was a couple 20's. It worked on a couple more but they were really tuned into the smaller size. Left the water soaked around 1:00 to go prepare for the big blow. Hope everyone is safe.

It must of had something to do with the storm because they were everywhere here in Maryland as well, Lil tiny boogers!
