Years (and years...) ago when I worked in a fly shop on the edge of the ANF, we had a contingent of hard core Allegheny-below-the-dam trout guys from Warren who would come into the shop on a regular basis. They, for some reason, all seemed to prefer the water below the Conewango junction and on down through behind Betts Park to the upper section between the dam and the Glade Ave. Bridge.
From time to time, they would come in all breathless and hair afire talking about trout the size of ball bats eating adult Dobson flies after dark in the river behind Betts Park.
I never knew if they were telling me the truth or if it was actually big stoneflies they were seeing or if they had simply all been drinking to excess for an extended period.
Has anybody ever actually seen a trout (or any fish for that matter..) trying to eat an adult Dobson fly? I haven't, but I suppose it could be possible...
