Was anybody on Lititz run around noon today (4-14-13)? I saw some yellowish mayflies hatching around then. Not a huge hatch, but enough to get even the larger trout to pay attention. I even saw a small carp jump out of the water to take one.
Does anybody know what the name of the mayfly was? Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures... Hoping somebody else saw them today. They were yellow, and it seemed like the casings they emerged from were brightly colored too - green or yellow colored. Before I realized what they were I thought somebody upstream of me was fishing with chartreuse powerbait or something.
Unfortunately, I didn't have any dries that even came close to their color, so I didn't end up catching any trout. Did manage to catch a bluegill at least... It was painful to watch a big brown trout rising to those yellow mayflies, and not be able to do anything about it!
